The Leadership Team
Skimstone Arts’ Leadership Team is a group of more experienced members of Young Artists Collective and Assistant Project Managers who meet each week to discuss matters important to them and help steer the direction of 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 Artists Collective.
If you have any questions about the Leadership Team or any of our activities, please don’t hesitate to contact our Lead Musician Peter Saaremets at peter@skimstone.org.uk or Leadership Team member Nicole at nicole@skimstone.org.uk
Our Young Artist Collective activity is made possible with support from Youth Music, Garfield Western, Wellesley Fund, and Community Foundation Tyne & Wear.
"The Young Artists Collective expands peoples social and artistic circles" Young Artist Collective Member.
"It helps people come out of their shells, and express our feelings through art and music" Young Artist Collective Member.
"It’s something I get to come along to for myself, meet new people, be more social, it gives me something to look forward to, especially if I’ve had a hard week. It helps me to keep going." Young Artist Collective Member.
"It's a way to channel creativity and get a chance to play music with other people, music that you enjoy because you create it yourself, there is freedom in that and there is challenge as well, you get pushed and it helps you to grow." Young Artist Collective Member.
"It’s a chance to express a lot of things I wouldn’t be able to express in daily life. It can be a calm place. I can be social and interact with other people who aren’t my children. It gives opportunities to do events that I wouldn’t be able to do otherwise." Young Artisit Collective member.
Recent projects include:
"The songs had important things to say and the music was complex and unified- great musicians!" UNITY Festival Audience Member
