National Youth Arts Week runs May 1-7 each year. It gives young people across Canada the chance to create a celebration of youth-led events. It showcases their talents and ideas, and gets them excited about the arts and celebrating their involvement in their community.
We celebrate National Youth Week each year with local youth events.

Youth Arts Week 2018 |
We celebrated National Youth Arts Week 2018 with a Youth Arts Showcase, presented by Ontario Power Generation. Alongside Youth Move's Youth Week Activities at the Kinsmen Centre, the City presented a Youth Art Show and Youth Music Showcase featuring some of Thunder Bay's most talented and artistic youth. We invited submissions from youth across the City to enter artwork to be displayed at the Youth Art Show that took place Tuesday, May 1, to Saturday, May 5, at the Kinsmen Northwood Centre. The opening for the show featured live music by Matt Sellick. A Jury Prize and a People's Choice Prize were awarded to works in the show. Jury prize
