On July 12, Billie Rae Vinson, Senior Coordinator of Family Programs, met with YI Art Careers. Vinson explained that one of her major goals is to create programs that grab the children and the parent/guardians’ attention. She said she uses the Disney model, which means creating an activity that is appropriate for children but also relatable to adults, so both parties enjoy themselves.

Vinson says she enjoys working with children because they are unabashedly creative. With that being said, I strongly believe that the programs she implements work well.
