Creative Youth Network
About
Creative Youth Network (CYN) is the youth services provider for Bristol and South Gloucestershire and a multi-disciplinary arts provider, producing new work for and by young people, developing talent, using the arts as a tool for change. Our cross-sectoral position makes our offer distinctive. In 2020 we supported 6,420 young people, aged 11-25, over 60% of which were vulnerable
Creativity is the golden thread that runs through all that we do.
For some it’s expression, having a voice, coping with demons, building relationships. It’s accessible, builds life-skills, confidence and resilience, supports team-work, prepares for life ahead.
For those with the ambition, we create opportunities and pathways into the notoriously homogenous creative industries, developing and honing talent and skills. We offer professional mentoring, subsidised make-spaces and rehearsal rooms, youth-led productions and performances, networking, commissions, exhibition space and promotional opportunities.
