Over one week young people learnt about working in the arts through visits, talks and workshops with Whitechapel Gallery staff and industry professionals. Sessions included curating exhibitions and public programmes, setting up AV for a live event, learning about education programmes, developing a communications campaign, speed meeting with staff to find out about job roles and career paths, and a visit to Acme Studios to meet two artists in residence.
The course has truly opened my eyes up to plenty more creative careers that I didn’t know were out there, and has also made me realise that I can follow my passions and create a life I love. Thank you to all the staff at the gallery for putting together such a great week – it has made my summer.
The Youth Summer Programme is generously supported by Capital Group and The Arts Society Westminster.
