This virtual summit, entirely designed and led by young people, is a space for dreaming and using the arts to imagine a different and better future. The summit, held November 6-8, 2020, is an opportunity for young artists, ages 13-20, from a range of artistic disciplines, to connect, create, celebrate, and inspire, and to create their/the Artistic Youth-led Revolution. This summit is a program of the Creative Youth Development National Partnership.
The 2020 Planning Team is looking for presentations, performances, and similar that allow young artists from all over the world to connect, create, and celebrate with each other. We encourage submissions that examine the following topics:
Mental Health, Healing and Wellness
Arts within a Community
Past, Present, and Future: The Evolution and Future of Arts
A different future (Futurism)
Arts Activism, Social Justice, and Change
The NYAS Planning Team also encourages proposals that answers any of the following prompts:
What does the Artristic Youth Revolution look like to you? What does it mean?
If you could, how would you change the world through art?
Respond to what’s going on in our country right now. How does it make you feel? How would you like it to change?
How do you envision a better future? What does it look like?
