The Festival of Young Artists is a free community event that is presented annually at SPAC to celebrate hundreds of the Capital Region’s brightest young actors, dancers, musicians, singers, poets, and visual artists.

At 2pm, SPAC’s grounds will be transformed into a festival of student pop-up performances, fine art displays, food stands, poetry slams, games & activities, and free ice cream provided by Stewart’s Shops! At 4:30pm, hundreds of young artists will gather to present a show-stopping concert on SPAC’s main stage, featuring large-scale productions that combine music, song, poetry, visual art, and dance.

Join us at Artisanal Brew Works for a fun family friendly fundraiser!
June 9th from 12- 4pm with performance by SSYB Children's Division at 2 pm

$1 will be donated from the sale of each full pour of draft beer, glass of wine, or cocktail during the fundraiser. Pic-nic style food will be available for sale.

All dancers from Creative Movement to Ballet II that come to the fundraiser will have the opportunity to perform their Spring Concert class dance to family and friends in an outdoor and fun environment. Dancers should come wearing the dress code, ballet bun, and sneakers (no ballet slippers). This is not a mandatory performance, but we hope to see you all there.
