About Us As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, IAOYA's mission is to recognize and support the world’s most talented young artists in the visual, literary, music and performing arts. Founded in 2011 by Dr. Jeff Kryka. While our home base is located in Los Angeles, we seek out members from across the globe.
IAOYA is a flourishing creative community founded by young artists, for young artists. At the IAOYA, it is our belief that the arts are the life and soul of our communities and are an essential facet of our culture. It is our mission to provide opportunities to talented young artists and foster an environment of public interaction in the arts. It is through this shared experience that we can bring the communities of our world together in celebration of artistic diversity and cultural recognition. We strongly believe that supporting today's young artists and fostering their talents is the only way to insure that art will continue to flourish in our communities, not just today, but for many years to come. Therefore, I am delighted to invite you to participate in the IAOYA, so we may share this exciting journey together.
