THE BRIGHTON AND HOVE YOUTH ARTS FRINGE 2009
In 2009 the Youth Arts Fringe enters into its second year as an annual event!
YAF ’09 showcases the creative work of young people through youth services across Brighton and Hove. Hosted in May to tie in with The Brighton Festival, the Youth Arts Fringe is a multi-media art extravaganza, showing a diverse collection of creative work across the city. This year YAF includes theatre, visual art, graffiti, photography, sculpture, dance, music and painting. YAF ’09 is organised by the Youth Arts Project, part of Brighton and Hove City Council’s Integrated Youth Support Service.
YAF highlights artwork by young people (age 11–25) many who do not normally get the chance to participate in mainstream arts events. Some of young people involved are socially excluded or disadvantaged; some are out of education, work or training, and so don’t have access to the traditional routes to 'art'.
There are 30 statutory and voluntary services involved this year, including those working in youth centres, hostels, mental health services, youth offending, LGBT, BME, schools and substance misuse support organisations.
Everything is free unless otherwise stated!
