Festival of the Arts

Step into the spotlight and share your creative talents with the world!
MUSYCA invites young visual artists, pianists, vocalists, and string players (violin, viola, and cello) to take part in our exciting 2023 Festival of the Arts.
This year's festival is open to children and youth between the ages of 5 and 21. We welcome all levels of experience, from beginners to advanced performers. Musicians should submit their two musical selections via video, while visual artists can submit their artwork via photo for consideration. Festival performances and the art show will take place in person, offering a wonderful opportunity for young artists to showcase their skills in a supportive and vibrant community.
To participate, submit your registration and video or photo submissions by April 4, 2023. We look forward to seeing the amazing creativity and talent you bring to the festival through your music and art!
