World Event Young Artists is the very first event of its kind to take place.

It is an exciting occasion bringing together and celebrating the talent and artistic excellence of young people from across the globe. In September 2012 World Event for Young Artists [WEYA] will bring a staggering 1,000 young artists (18 - 30 years) from 120 nations to Nottingham.

Over a period of 10 days, these artists will bring the city to life with creative activity across all art forms including visual arts, music and gastronomy.

These artists will have the chance to showcase their practice, exchange ideas and build future collaborations.
