StArt Youth Presenting Art [StArt YPA] is a SuiteLife Arts for Youth initiative, run by Scarborough youth and sponsored by TD Bank and Theatre Scarborough. We strive to give young emerging artists in Scarborough alternative outlets to express themselves in the arts and provide them with a platform where their works are accessible to their communities.
StArt YPA is now accepting art submissions for our 8th annual StArt Youth Presenting Art Festival, being held from August 13th to 18th, 2018. All youth between 13 and 25 years old are welcome to submit their works by July 14th, 2018, to info@startypa.org. Include subject line “Art submissions” and e-mail us links/docs of your work and a statement about you (including name, age, e-mail and phone number) and tell us about who/what inspires you as an artist.
Learning opportunity: During our festival week, from Monday, Aug. 13 to Thursday, Aug. 16, 2018 we will be running free workshops for youth. Our artistic workshops include Hip-Hop, Bollywood Dance, Vocals, Photography, Theatre (Acting), Fine Arts, Spoken Word, Theatre Production, Business for the Arts and our very first DIY: Silk Screening workshop. Youth can register by e-mail us at info@startypa.org. More information on our website www.startypa.org
We’re still welcoming submissions from Emerging Artists (25-40 years old) to perform and be featured in our Breaking Bread Reception – Aug. 17th, 2018, from 7:00pm to 9:30pm.”
