Please be thorough and insist on this protective measure when making new Industry Connections.



The Young Artist Academy™ is bonded and in full compliance with the Krekorian Talent Act,

an expansion of the California Advance Fee Talent Service Law.


In compliance with California Legislature Sections 1286 to 1289 and Assembly Bill 1660,

the Academy's annual awards show is produced by Stage Managers, Directors, Writers and Producers

carrying Child Performer Services Permits.
