If you are aged 16-19 and interested in a career in the arts then Young Curators is for you! Participants will learn about curation, project management, critical writing and marketing through talks, workshops and exhibition visits.

The Young Curators will work together to devise and organise an art exhibition. They will explore what can be considered an exhibition space (from galleries to empty shops, art in the public realm to virtual spaces) and will use this experience to inform their own collaborative project.

The project will run on Tuesday evenings from September-November 2011 with some extra weekend visits and workshops.

Introductory Session

Come along on Tuesday 16th August, 5-7pm to find out more about the project and how to apply. The introductory session starts at the University’s Broadcasting Place (the rusty looking building) on Woodhouse Lane and includes visiting ‘Junction,’ an exhibition on traffic controller boxes in Leeds City Centre. The session will finish at City Square.
