The youth board was set up to offer long term engagement with Artsadmin to project participants. The board advises on all Artsadmin's projects for young people as well as initiating, producing and delivering their own participatory programme supported and mentored by education producer Sam Trotman. Through collective and individual agency the Artsadmin youth board creates new participatory work as well as disseminating work about performance, live and visual art in creative and thought-provoking ways.

The group takes risks and opens up organisations. It puts young people, emerging artists and audiences at the centre of everything it does, supporting other young people as cultural leaders.

The youth board runs three creative and artistic development events which take place both at Toynbee Studios as well as off-site at other arts organisations across the country.

If you would like to find out about future youth board events or would like more information please email Sam Trotman.

Projects and opportunities publication

The Artsadmin Youth Board have launched a downloadable publication outlining projects the Youth Board has developed over the past few years in collaboration with a range of tutors, artists, and peers. It gives an insight into how it works as a collective of inspiring individuals, and how peer-led activity can benefit both artists and organisations.

The Youth Board are really interested in working with both organisations and individuals to open up more opportunities for young people and to share ideas and projects that will support the next generation of artists. If you would like to host or collaborate on any projects listed in the publication or would like to suggest any form of new venture, then please do get in touch.
