The Show Promoters Network is a Facebook group created and managed by the Arts Network for Children and Youth to help facilitate communication between young show promoters across Canada. The groups aim is to help connect emerging musicians to the promoters in communities that would support their tour, or book them for events. The group is also a support network for promoters to share both resources and tribulations of organizing community concerts and to coordinate music and performing arts events for National Youth Arts Week!

Andy Cunningham has been working hard to build the arts community in his hometown of New Glasgow, Nova Scotia. Over the past two years one of Andy's projects has been Art at Night May 3, during National Youth Arts Week. Art at Night is where artists gather throughout historic downtown New Glasgow to display a plethora of human creativity for spectators to hop from venue to venue, store front to store front.
We recently visited Sault Ste. Marie, ON to host an information session to get the community excited about National Youth Arts Week 2014!
