Here is some great news for a project I've just been working on, and I even get a mention!...
The summer may be coming to a close but at OYAP Trust we are celebrating the last few rays of sunshine as we have just been awarded £39,000 from Arts Council England towards our pioneering project, Stepping Up (Young Creative Leaders Training programme). This will support young artists aged 18-25, giving them a boost in their early creative careers, and enrich the arts in Oxfordshire. We are now working hard to secure the remaining funding for the programme. Read our press release here
We are now recruiting participants to enrol on the 2010 programme and for established practitioners to train as mentors to support a new generation of youth arts professionals, young artists and emerging arts managers. Visit http://go.madmimi.com/redirects/ec6c2c16ac9a84a4155447c24f404f1b?pa=1824661825 to find out how you can get involved.
YAK SHACK launch event
Our pilot cohort of Young Leaders formed the Young Artists Kollective (YAK) earlier this year, and launched their first pop up arts venue upstairs at the I-Cowley project in Templars Square shopping centre – young people participated in a show of static exhibitions and live performance organised by the Young Leaders and over 100 people visited the YAK SHACK to see the work. Our very first Young Leaders are now embarking on their creative careers and putting everything they have learned into practice. A huge thanks to their mentors, Janine Charles, Linda Jane James, Philippa Berry and Juliet Brain, for giving them such amazing support.
