About Us
Young Collectors’ Weekend (YCW) was born out of the desire to create a single space where those interested in the arts, whether seasoned collectors or those who are simply curious can engage through evolving discourse with contemporary artists and the art world around them. It is a unified platform on which all those interested in the arts can share their passions and interests. YCW is a women led platform that harnesses the power of art through exhibitions, masterclasses, and experiential events to create an inclusive community.
