Young Norfolk Arts is a charitable organisation that provides opportunities for children and young people to create and engage with art and culture across Norfolk. What started as the Young Norfolk Arts Partnership between local organisations committed to providing arts opportunities to young people has developed into charitable organisation the Young Norfolk Arts Trust. The Trust champions the rich cultural and artistic heritage of Norfolk and works to ensure that local young people are presented with a multitude of ways to explore it in a way that enriches education and enhances aspirations.

For 10 days every July, we hold the Young Norfolk Arts Festival (YNAF) – a celebration of creativity and performance by and for young people in Norfolk.

The YNA Collective engages and provides support to young people aged 16 – 25 years old. Through regular meetings, training sessions, practical hands on workshops and collaborative sessions with our partners, the Collective develop skills to enable them to produce, promote and evaluate events and exhibitions with Young Norfolk Arts.

Young Norfolk Visual Arts is a year-round programme of creative workshops and exhibition for children and young people of all ages. The shape of YNVA changes every year, in 2019 we offered free outreach workshops with primary schools, animation workshops through Norfolk libraries and an exhibition at The Forum.
