Paprika Festival is a youth-led professional performing arts organization. We run year round professional training and mentorship programs that culminate in a performing arts festival of new work by young artists.
We generate opportunities for young artists to lead their own creative process with the support of their peers and professional mentors.
We set the stage for young artists to have their voices heard in a setting that is supportive and also dependent on critical response.
We ensure that young artists are well equipped to find employment in diverse cultural industries and to become our successors.
