Young people and the arts
The Australia Council young people and the arts strategy ensures young people and children's creative practices are acknowledged for their inherent qualities, valued for their diversity and innovation, and recognised as a key contribution to Australian culture.
The young people and the arts strategy aims to:
- Increase the number of young people applying to our program of assistance and identifying professional development opportunities; and
- Support organisations that provide significant opportunities for creative collaboration between professional artists & young people in all aspects of artistic planning & the creative process.
Current initiatives
