Yea Youth Arts Festival

A unique opportunity for students in grades K-12 to coordinate their own arts festival, YEA! allows young artists to gain practical experience in event organization, marketing, presentation, and sales.

Student artists present their handcrafted goods in an artist market while young performers showcase their talent on a performance stage.  Decatur Arts Alliance provides the venue, tables, and event necessities; the student artists coordinate the rest!
