All of this exciting content is cemented by distance mentoring from leading UK and international artists and practitioners, tutorials, and portfolio work. By the end of their year together, our 'Future Leaders' are in an improved position to deliver their own work, develop new ideas with other likeminded artists, and generally feel a greater sense of confidence and belief in their abilities to take their skills to the next level. We are proud to announce that since starting the programme in 2014, we have worked with over 90 young artists to develop their skills, and in just two years we have seen a huge leap in collaborations between groups, regions, and art forms. We are excited to follow their journeys over time, watch this space! “It’s crazy to see how much has changed in a year. Those 4 residential weekends quite literally changed my life! I can never thank you all enough for accepting me on board!” Jordan, 18 Full information about the programme at www.futureleaders.org.uk
With thanks to Youth Music, Arts Council England, and all the other incredible people and organisations that helped to make this all happen.... And of course our amazingly talented Future Leaders! :) Video Produced and Edited by John Grey
