FameCast is a proud sponsor of YOUTHCAST, an Art City Austin '08 Talent Event presented by The Austin School for The Performing and Visual Arts.   YOUTHCAST is a public talent show for children ages 10 – 19 to showcase their talents in the disciplines of dance, music, spoken word, comedy and classical music. 

To launch the school and its inspiring mission, ASPVA is producing a new annual fundraiser called ASPVA YOUTHCAST in partnership with FameCast and the Art Alliance Austin. YOUTHCAST is a public talent show for children ages 10 – 19 to showcase their talents in the disciplines of dance, music, spoken word, comedy and classical music.

The event will take place this year on April 12 – 13 as a featured event of Art City Austin (formerly the Fine Arts Festival) with an expected audience of 20,000 citizens. The purpose of the fundraiser is to provide ASPVA scholarships for students in need of financial assistance. With assistance from FameCast, each selected performance will be professionally filmed and made available for public viewing on the FameCast website as well as provided to each participant to assist with their career in the arts.
