Join us online or in-person for the 2022 Youth Performance Festival and experience all-new original works of dance, music, theater, animation, and more, all created by young artists ages 8-18!

The Youth Performance Festival (YPF) is a FREE opportunity for youth artists ages 8-18 to create original performance pieces under the guidance of mentor artists in the fields of music, dance, theater, poetry/spoken word, and video. YPF centers the creative agency of young artists, and is committed to supporting them as they discover their own creative processes.

In person audiences are limited to youth artists’ families. Both performances will be livestreamed for free, and we invite you to make a donation in lieu of tickets here. Livestream links will be posted on this page in advance of the Festival.

The Youth Performance Festival is sponsored in part by a Mass Cultural Council Festivals Grant, a Mass Cultural Council Project Grant, as well as the Amherst and South Hadley Local Cultural Councils, local agencies that are a part of the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.

We are deeply grateful for our business sponsors, A2Z Science and Learning Store, Art Always/High Five Books, Greenfield Savings Bank, GoBerry, Peoples Bank, Renew Pilates, Webs, Wohl Family Dentistry, and Workroom Design Studio, as well as the Spero Charitable Foundation, and our media partner, Northampton Open Media.
