Aged 15 – 24? Interested in art, meeting new people and getting involved in creative projects? We’re looking for new members to join our youth collective Duchamp & Sons.
Duchamp & Sons is a collective of young people from across East London who collaborate on creative projects with artists. They experiment with art, share space for food and conversation, and create exhibitions, events, and new artworks as a collective.
Complete the application form by 10am, Mon 8 September.
Eligible applicants will be invited to the Taster Evening on Wed 17 September, 5pm-7pm.
At the Taster Evening you can discover what the youth collective has to offer through a workshop with current members.
As spaces in the group are often oversubscribed, we also use these evenings to help us select who will be offered a place to join the group.*
We encourage you to complete the application form as early as possible, as spaces on the Taster Evening will be allocated throughout the application period.
*Please note that there are a limited number of spaces available in the collective, and so we are unlikely to be able to offer everyone who attends the Taster Evening a place in Duchamp & Sons.
In this instance we will prioritise those aged 15-19, based in East London (in particular those from Tower Hamlets), from backgrounds underrepresented in the arts, and with least prior access to similar opportunities.
Duchamp & Sons is a collective of young people from across East London who meet regularly at the gallery and collaborate on creative projects with artists. They experiment with art, share space for food and conversation, and create exhibitions, events, and new artworks as a collective.
