May 2017, Canadian communities will join together to host the country's largest annual celebration of creative expression of children and youth.

National Youth Arts Week will feature youth-driven projects and events happening in communities across Canada.  The week provides a space for young people to express and exchange ideas, showcase talents, get excited about the arts and celebrate their positive contributions to their communities.

By working together and taking an active role in creating events, these young leaders will build a strong connection to their community and, in doing so, they will become part of a growing national network of youth artists and leaders.
