The Somerville Youth Arts Festival is an annual event presented by Books Of Hope that provides a paid opportunity for local young artists to showcase the work they’re created over this season. If you are between the ages of 12-20 in the greater Somerville area, you can earn $50-$100 for sharing your digital art or virtual performance!
The theme for this year’s SYAF is “In This Together”, which is the title of BOH’s new anthology of young writers from all over Massachusetts during the year 2020! In addition to poetry and musical feature performances, this free virtual festival will include a digital art gallery with paid commissions for youth artists, as well as Jackbox games with viewers.
