NEW ARTS PROGRAMME FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

Young people can apply for a place on a paid art programme to develop skills and access opportunities to enter employment in the arts and creative industries. Metroland Young Associates is a six month paid programme for young people aged 18-24 living in Brent. Lois Stonock, Director at Metroland Cultures said, “The programme has grown from the hugely successful Blueprint Collective programme of Brent 2020. It recognises that young people in Brent have tremendous potential to develop creative careers, but opportunities to gain paid experience in the borough are limited so young people either miss out or leave the borough to pursue their ambitions. The programme is about paying young people to learn more about the arts and creative industries and have a real role in the work Metroland does in the borough.” Applications are now open and the deadline is 7 April. For further information or to apply visit: www.metrolandcultures. com/get-involved/ MetrolandYoungAssociates
