Launching our youth social enterprise
We have 2 projects we would like to progress in our community space. Our weekly youth printing group is a huge sucess and our aim is to develop it into a small social enterprise where we support and encourage the young people to make and sell their work as posters, t-shirts and bags online and at local markets (including one we will host in our carpark over summer). We know seeing how much their work is valued will raise their aspirations as artists whilst also developing their knowledge of business, budgeting and money management which is something that we dont get taught growing up.
We also want to start a monthly collage and screen printing session at our printworkshop to encourage the production of artwork in our community and to connect with others to build a community of bigger artists within our space.
