Please join us for the 2024 Youth Performance Festival (YPF), and enjoy performances and presentations by over 40 local youth artists! All work is original and created by young artists ages 8-18. You’ll see solo pieces as well as collaborations between young artists, and every field of performing art is represented! This year, we were excited to partner with Make-It Springfield  to create a Springfield-based youth cohort as part of the long term goal to expand YPF in Western Mass. Now in its fifth year, YPF is an outstanding festival experience that warms hearts and inspires creativity in audience members of all ages!

The Youth Performance Festival, a collaboration between Play Incubation Collective and the Northampton Center for the Arts at 33 Hawley, is a FREE opportunity for youth artists ages 8-18 to create original performance pieces under the guidance of mentor artists in the fields of music, dance, theater, poetry/spoken word, and video. YPF centers the creative agency of young artists, and is committed to supporting them as they discover their own creative processes.

Attendees may pay where they can on this scale. Payments on the upper end of the scale help support our commitment to sliding scale rates, as well as our low mentor/participant ratio.
