Northampton Center for the Arts, 33 Hawley St.

The 2023 Youth Performance Festival (YPF), a collaboration between Play Incubation Collective and the Northampton Center for the Arts at 33 Hawley, 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. YPF is proud to be in its 4th year of bringing together an intergenerational arts community. This year’s festival will feature the work of 35 youth artists, from towns all throughout the Valley, who have worked with a talented team of mentor artists over 6 weekends to develop their original work. We welcome all community members to join us for this celebratory arts festival.
