AFCY Event: BIG BAM BOOM: AFCY Youth Arts Festival
A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who made our 2nd annual BIG BAM BOOM: AFCY Youth Arts Festival a huge success, especially all performers and artists who participated in the festival on June 5th & 6th at Harbourfront Centre!!
Conceived, managed and performed by AFCY’s Youth Advisory Council, BIG BAM BOOM is a 2-day large-scale exhibition and performance of amazing work created by over 500 young people (ages 12-24 approx.) from Toronto’s priority neighborhoods who’ve participated in AFCY’s 2009-10 programs. As a signature AFCY event, it’s a multi-cultural swirl of high energy music, dance, beat boxing and singing, with a dazzling visual arts component that includes painting, ceramics, sculpture, installations, graffiti, intergenerational and interactive art.
