Young Curators is a Harlow-based Silver Arts Award project for 14-19 year olds. We work with The Gibberd Gallery, Harlow Playhouse, local artists and arts organisations to empower young people to develop skills and gain experience in the creative industries.
Young Curators is an opportunity for young people who want a new experience and challenge, who are interested in a career in arts, culture, gallery, event management.
What: The Young Curators programme runs for six months, with a 2 hour session taking place at the Harlow Playhouse/Gibberd Gallery each week. Some extra hours may be required during the creation of an exhibition and for events.
Aim: To provide vocational experience and training for students and offer professional development for young people to extend their art practice and enhance potential career paths. Work towards Silver Arts Award.
Empowering young people is at the heart of the project.
Amanda and Nicola have recently formed Creative Ways Harlow CIC, a community interest company dedicated to increasing access to the arts and cultural activity and using the power of arts and culture to increase skills, enrich lives and make social impact. They aim to secure the future of the Young Curators project, ensuring it remains free at the point of access to young people from all backgrounds.
