About UPSTART online
UPSTART began life as ‘95%’ – a magazine delivered by UK Youth, exploring youth arts activity across the country.
In 2003 Artswork took over the running of ‘95%’, and relaunched the magazine as ‘Upstart – 100% youth arts’.
- Informing, inspiring, including – Upstart is the independent voice for the growing youth arts sector throughout the UK
- Policy, provision, practice – Upstart offers an essential guide to developments and a unique slant on the issues that matter
- Views, reviews, interviews – Upstart, published monthly, features news and information from the UK and beyond
Upstart became UPSTART Online with the launch of the ENYAN website, offering a bigger and better service to subscribers.
UPSTART and ENYAN
After over three years as a published magazine, due to popular demand in June 2006 UPSTART moved online as part of the ENYAN website.
Whilst demand still exists for the information and services UPSTART so successfully provided to the youth arts sector, the paper format had decreased in popularity. Joining forces with ENYAN enabled UPSTART to give members an enhanced voice and increased ability to keep up to date on current developments, moving from a quarterly to monthly publication.
What UPSTART offers
Via the partnership with the ENYAN website UPSTART is able to offer Full (paid) members access to news, jobs informed reviews, interviews, and cutting edge articles as well as offering everyone expanded opportunities to debate, discuss and discover what’s going on across the country, events, training, publications, develop new networks and find the resources and support they need.
Alongside the benefits of the ENYAN website, UPSTART online now offers each month:
- Vital Signs: a round up of policy, news and events affecting the sector

How to subscribe to UPSTART online
Upstart Online is available to Full ENYAN members only (paid). Subscriptions fees have only been slightly increased from those originally charged for Upstart as a publication, and are still available at a range of prices depending on your circumstances.
However, for almost the same price, now a monthly publication, and in partnership with the ENYAN website UPSTART is able to offer a much bigger and better service than ever before, with news and events regularly updated.
Subscriptions fees enable us to continue producing the online magazine, and the website.
