The Arts Council of Northern Ireland believe that Youth Arts is about the entitlement of all Children and Young People to participate in a diverse range of arts-led cultural opportunities in safe and enabling environments. Youth Arts should be taken in the broadest possible sense and should include participative arts and work created for Young People as audiences. Youth arts refers to a whole range of creative activities, involving children and young people up to the age of 25 years, both in and outside of formal education settings. Youth arts can take place, any time, anywhere, with almost any one, and with any kind of art form or creative activity. It could be poetry slams, street dance, circus skills, drama, fashion design, film, graffiti, music, Dj-ing, Vj-ing, craft, opera, hip hop – almost anything goes. The Arts Council recognise Youth Arts as a valuable artistic process in itself and also as a contributor to growing all aspects of professional arts practice. Underpinning the artistic work that the Arts Council supports is the view that the arts need to be recognised as central to the effectiveness of future policy for Children and Young People across all dimensions; educational, social and economic. The Arts Council seeks to stimulate exchange, connection, collaboration and revision among all those including Young People with a vested interest in the development of the arts for Children and Young People up to the age of 25 years.
