Speak Out And Lead, a “Youth Led” music and arts festival, is taking place from noon to 5 p.m. on May 19, hosted by the Victoria Theater Arts Center at Springboard for the Arts at 262 University Ave. W. in St. Paul.
The Victoria Theater Arts Center’s goal is to unify local artists in resilience, expression and leadership within the Frogtown and Rondo communities.
Speak Out And Lead centers around young individuals’ passions for the arts, music and performance and will showcase work of artists aged 13 to 21 from around the Twin Cities. The event will include live performances, workshops and an interactive arts market. Attendees will have the opportunity to acquire original artwork directly from the artists.
The event was planned by the Victoria Theaters Youth Art Leadership Team, including Marquan Harper, the team’s spokesperson.
“We are deeply enthusiastic about broadening our scope and amplifying youth voices within the vibrant Frogtown and Rondo community,” Harper said in a statement.
The cost of admission will be $2 to $5 for youth, $5 to $20 for ages 21 and up, and those under the age of 13 are free. No one will be turned away for lack of funds, according to organizers.
