Youth Opportunity

Hey there!

Are you an artist or performer under the age of 30? Are you looking to get involved in something HUGE? Do you want to showcase your talent on a National Scale?

The Arts Network for Children and Youth is looking for young performers and artists to showcase their talent by performing at our National Youth Arts Week launch party on May 1 in Toronto.

What is National Youth Arts Week?

It’s about eruptions of art and creativity from coast to coast to coast.

It’s about inspiring youth leadership through creative expression.

It’s about building a movement that will continue to grow once the week is over.

We are looking for artists from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds; musicians, performance artists, dancers, visual artists, sound artists, filmmakers, creative writers, poets and culinary artists, just to name a few.

If you’re interested, please send a short video or an online portfolio to info@youthartsweek.ca or get in touch with us to find out more information.

For more information about the week, to find out how you can get involved or to see what other events are being planned around the country, visit our website at www.youthartsweek.ca
