Foundations – Call for young people in Lincoln/shire

UK New Artists is looking for creative young people in Lincoln and Lincolnshire to join ‘Foundations’, a six month programme of training and activity for aspiring artists of all disciplines, aged 14-19yrs. The programme will include:

Workshops – A series of in-person and online taster workshops in a range of art forms, including music, creative writing, visual art, theatre and photography.

Go and see trips – You will receive a small fund of money to use to attend live events and exhibitions of your choice, in Lincoln/shire.

Mentoring – In small groups, you will be paired up with an exciting new artist who will provide advice and mentoring to support you through the programme and onto your own artistic journey.

It’s free to apply, and costs nothing to take part. You don’t need to be an ‘artist’ to join the course, all we ask is that you have an interest in the creative industries and are up for trying new things! Activities will run monthly from October 2022 – March 2023, and all activities will take place at evenings and weekends with travel bursaries are available to support travel costs, if required.

Foundations is open to anyone living, working or studying in Lincoln/shire, however we would particularly encourage young creatives from Boston, East Lindsey and North Kesteven to apply.

The deadline to apply is Thursday 8th September, 8pm.
