Young Artist Collective & ECHO Artists

The Young Artist Collective (YAC) is a diverse group of young people who work in and beyond the studio to create an individual and collaborative arts practice. Members explore different art forms and develop arts leadership skills with others.

Our weekly Young Artist Collective sessions provide the perfect opportunity for anyone 16 to 24 years of age with interest in music, sound and other art forms to create work with a diverse group of people in a supportive, nurturing environment. Tuition is available in singing, keyboard, drums, guitar and bass.
Sessions take place on Thursdays with no previous experience required and are free to attend.

Case Studies
The Leadership Team
Skimstone Arts’ Leadership Team is a group of more experienced members of Young Artists Collective/Echo Artists and Assistant Project Managers who meet each week to discuss matters important to them and Skimstone Arts.
This includes helping to plan Skimstone Arts’ workshops, projects and gigs, but also pursuing their own artistic endeavours and supporting fellow creatives in the Young Artist Collective and ECHO Artists and having more of a say in what Skimstone Arts is and does.
Many of the team have worked with Skimstone Arts for several years before joining the Leadership Team to create work that is important to them and their community alongside the company. The opportunity to join the Leadership Team is really rewarding, and a chance to develop skills further.
If you have any questions about the Leadership Team or any of our activities, please don’t hesitate to contact one of us at:
