Young Community Events

We connect online and in person to share opportunities, resources, and build real connections which encourage creative, personal, and professional growth in supportive and inclusive spaces.

Am I eligible to attend?

Anyone who is currently part of the Arts Emergency Young Community can attend. 

That's anyone who's had an Arts Emergency mentor, aged 16-25.

What can I expect?

A relaxed space to connect with other young creatives, grow your network, exchange experiences and try out collaborative activities.

If we can make an event more accessible to you, please let us know when you register.

Who's going?

We'll post on the WhatsApp Community a few days before each event so you can see who's going and chat with attendees.

Email community@arts-emergency.org if you need a link to the WhatsApp Community.

Join us at the Neighbourhood Makeshop, a hands-on creative space managed by Old Diorama Arts Centre, just minutes from Euston. Led by Nicholas Ferguson we'll be doing a guided exploration of imagination, awareness and conscious creation through art. This is not therapy. It’s not an art class. Discover that the simple act of guided art-making, without needing to know how, opens unexpected clarity.
