Local young people are very familiar with Ballinglen from participating in Schools Programmes and workshops as children. Youth Arts has been developed to provide continuity for them as they grow up and start leaving formal art class settings. We provide opportunities for creative thinking and experimentation, working with adults and artists, making and mixing with friends.
Since 2020 a cohesive group of young people have taken part in all the activities we've offered, enriching our lives as we hope to enrich theirs with creative engagement.
We are currently forming a Youth Advisory Committee. Weekly meetups will resume in September.
