Our Purpose

PsA is an arts organization aimed at healing communities using exhibitions, programming and public arts. YS LLC is an organization fiscal agented under the PSA umbrella. The work her and her team has established thus far consists of a two year and ongoing residency with Waypoint's overnight youth resource center, a multi year fully compensated youth mural internship with MYTURN and just this year, a full immersion residency and exhibition with Opportunity Networks.Yasamin Safarzadeh LLC, has had a steadfast track record of uplifting and amplifying the region’s most vulnerable populations. The staff is entirely composed of individuals who are BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), of people from the queer community and individuals with disabilities. This unique phenomena, in New Hampshire, yields the organization to a more authentic lens when addressing Arts and Art Enrichment through the DEIAJ (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility and Social Justice) standards. Each staff has worked in diverse sectors of the economy for decades including, the creative economy, civic service, military, education, healthcare and private sectors. A feature of YS LLC is their unique ability to enact inter-organizational programming with organizations which are engaged in civic servitude, aiding in enhancing the quality of community member’s lives. Leading with a participant first approach means the vessel is guided by those whom the programs are targeted to uplift
