Young people’s Art Mart

Young People’s Art Mart: A Festival Centering Creatives Under 25 is an annual summer music and arts festival that showcases the work of young performing and visual artists. Organized by youth collectives Future is Us Collective and the Young Artist Program, this all day event features artist vendors and youth-led community organizations, a series of music performances, a youth town hall installation at the Crane Arts Building, and food vendors.

The festival is grounded in our collective work and efforts to center futurism, care, authenticity, world-building, and healing pedagogical practices centered in imagination, body, and play. This festival event is a fun and safe space for children, teens, parents, and young adults to come together to celebrate Philadelphia’s emerging talent.
