Ignite your creativity. If you’re looking for a supportive and inspiring environment for your work, you’ve come to the right place.

FUSE International is a platform for artists aged 5 – 30, and things are only becoming more ambitious every year.

The next festival will take place from 28 June – 6 July 2025.

Applications for 2025 will open on Tuesday 12 November 2024 and will close on Sunday 5 January 2025.

Established in 2009 by Creative Youth, FUSE International hosts over 80 events across venues and spaces around Kingston upon Thames every July. We provide a supportive environment for artists at every stage of their creative journey, from experienced performers to those putting on their first show.

FUSE International (formerly International Youth Arts Festival) takes place every year in summer in the stunning historical location of Kingston upon Thames, in London.

Applications open every Autumn and close in January. We have a wide range of spaces available during the festival, from small cabaret spaces to large scale auditoriums so whatever scale you feel ready to work to, we’re happy to help.
