Youth for Youth World Music & Arts Fest
Each Spring, Door Dog's highly anticipated Youth for Youth World Music & Arts Fest showcases talented young performers throughout the Bay Area.
Our Youth for Youth World Music & Arts Fest brings together young people from many different cultural backgrounds, increase public awareness and appreciation of the artistic practices of immigrant communities, and foster cross-cultural understanding and inclusiveness through new forms of stage presentation, arts education, and community connections.
Begun in 2006, the Youth for Youth World Music & Arts Fest prepares a new
generation of local world music artists within a professional performing environment, while
teaching them first hand about tolerance and respect for different cultures and peoples of the
world, and the pluralistic social perspectives necessary to work across cultural differences.
