In 2018, YAM worked with lead artists Andrew Wade Smith and Carl Joe Williams to produce “Relentless Innocence,” a collaborative audio-visual poem. The digital media spectacle was driven by original works of painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, spoken word, music and sound design.
LUNA Fête attracted 100,000 locals and tourists in 2019, which provided YAM with its largest audience yet. For many youth participants, LUNA Fête was the first time they had been exposed to projection mapping and other cutting-edge art forms.
