The Youth Arts Festival (now called CultureShock) has been run by CYC annually since 2002, growing from a one day event with 15 workshops and two performance spaces and attracting approximately 1300 young people, to a unique three day event with over 30 innovative arts workshops on offer, five performance spaces with an audience of over 5000 young people.

Mission statement

The festival offers a unique arts experience for young people delivering a diverse spectrum of workshops and performances to inspire and challenge participants. The festival will provide a high quality platform for young people to share their talents and achievements with their peers and will mark North Yorkshire on the map as a creative, youth focused County filled with talented individuals.
