We have come to the end of our eighth season, and what a year it has been! It's been wonderful to see so many new faces at each of our events and to see how passionate you are about arts fundraising, social impact of the arts, classical music on television, late night arts events and all of our other topics. We are happy to have been able to bring you to new, glamorous venues, such as the Foundling Museum, light art club Lights of Soho, the Allies and Morrison headquarters, the Proud Archivist, and Soho Works in Shoreditch's Tea Building. And we are grateful that our high-profile speakers, including CEOs Darren Henley and Amanda Nevill and artist Netia Jones, donated their time to us to supply all of you with some great new insights into the arts sector. 

To celebrate the successful year we will be holding an end-of-the-year drinks event on 5 July. We'll be at the Founder's Arms, the pub along the Thames, in front of Tate Modern and its impressive new Switch House (good excuse to get there before 6PM and have a quick peek inside). We have reserved an area, so please register on the guest list below, so we know how many people to expect. 

Entry to this event is free, so if you were thinking of introducing your friends or colleagues to YPIA, this is a great moment to do so. In the meantime, we are working hard on next year's season, and will release more information about the season launch in September in due course. Membership sales for 2016-2017 will open in August.
