Highlights of the 2023-2024 Season
Between September 2023 and July 2024, YAAM organized a range of events that brought members closer together, encouraging growth and innovation within the art world. The club hosted 42 events, including afterworks, art fair visits, and training sessions on key industry topics such as compliance with anti-money laundering regulations in the art market.

One of the highlights of the year was the annual soirée on July 9, 2024, held aboard a boat in Paris. This event, which brought together over 100 professionals, featured sunset views of the Seine, curated art exhibitions, and a quiz in partnership with eBay, offering prizes such as a lithograph by Bernard Frize. The evening provided a unique opportunity for members to connect and celebrate their shared passion for art in a relaxed atmosphere.
