A Successful Afternoon of Art, Collaboration, and New Opportunities

November 22, 2025 — New York, NY

The American Young Artists Association (AYA) hosted its second official event, “WINE · MUSIC · CREATIVITY,” on Saturday, November 22, 2025, at Sphere Club, Monogram New York, 135E 47th St. Running from 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM, the gathering brought together musicians, filmmakers, designers, composers, writers, entrepreneurs, and creative professionals from across New York’s artistic community.

This salon-style event marked a significant milestone for AYA, reflecting our mission to bridge artistry and opportunity through meaningful interaction, thoughtful conversation, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Growing Momentum & Concrete Achievements

The event achieved remarkable outcomes for participating artists. Through active networking and industry presence, AYA successfully helped secure four new professional offers for our artists—ranging from upcoming performance engagements to creative development collaborations and project invitations.

Discussions between artists, entrepreneurs, and creative producers led to multiple new partnerships in both artistic and business directions, illustrating the depth and versatility of the AYA community.

Featured Performance by Violinist Eliane Menzel

One of the highlights of the afternoon was the intimate violin performance by AYA artist Eliane Menzel, whose refined musicianship and expressive interpretation captivated the audience. Her appearance underscored AYA’s dedication to presenting rising artists whose work reflects both artistic excellence and distinctive personal voice.

Creative Success Across Disciplines

The event also celebrated achievements from AYA members beyond music. Notably, one of our playwrights saw their original theatrical work successfully staged in Manhattan this season, earning recognition from audiences and collaborators alike. This accomplishment represents AYA’s broader commitment to supporting artists across performance, media, writing, and creative production.

A Space for New Ideas

Throughout the afternoon, guests engaged in conversations that spanned
• music performance
• film direction and storytelling
• brand building and creative entrepreneurship
• inter-cultural artistic collaborations across the U.S. and the world
• visual arts, including painting, illustration, and contemporary art practices
• opportunities in art competitions, exhibitions, and gallery showcases
• the emerging landscape of art dealing, curation, and auction culture

The environment encouraged participants to openly exchange ideas, and many left with new partners, new projects, and renewed confidence in their creative journey.

Looking Ahead

The success of “WINE · MUSIC · CREATIVITY” reflects the rapidly growing momentum of AYA’s mission. As we continue hosting events, concerts, and collaborative programs, AYA remains committed to creating a space where artists can connect authentically, develop impactful work, and reach new opportunities around the world.

AYA extends our gratitude to all artists, partners, and supporters who joined us—and we look forward to welcoming everyone again at our upcoming events.
