YO fest 2021

YO Arts Fest is Bristol’s multi-arts festival for young people, by young people.

YO stands for Youth Opportunities. After a very successful first event with The Diverse Artists Network in 2018, at Docklands, YO Fest hosted it’s (postponed) 2nd edition online.

YO Arts was produced with the support of PAPER Arts. We trained up 6 young creatives in all things “Events”, offering them the paid opportunity to learn everything from promotion to booking and then apply it to producing their own multi-arts festival.

The resulting festival showcased the finest mix of talent from Bristol’s creative scene, for everyone to enjoy from their own home.

This project was kindly funded by The Nisbett Trust
