Event Details
Are you a youth aged 7 to 19 with a dedicated interest in a fantasy series? Are you passionate about Star Wars, video games or anime? Do you create art or music based on your favourite series? The Fantastic Festival for Fan Art and Music is just for you!
Come share your art or music with other young people just like you. Anyone of any age is welcome to attend and support young creators but those performing and making the art must be between the ages of 7 and 19.
The day will be split into groups of popular fantasy: Star Wars, Classic Video Games, Current Games and Anime. Young artists can choose to sign up for one or more of the sessions as either a musical performer presenting a rendition or variation on popular music from the series, or as an artist with a table presenting their creative works on display, optionally for sale. Those with graphic novels or written fan fiction are also welcome to have a table and participate.
We recognize that some games and series contain mature content. We ask that all participants are mindful of their content for this all-ages event and select content for display or presentation that is suitable for everyone participating.

Participants: ages 7-19
Attendees: All ages welcome!
ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION IS FREE
