Led by Vikki Jones, UKNA’s Talent Development Manager, Creative Citizens is an ongoing series of workshops, events, projects and presentations for, with and by young people (predominantly 14-19yrs). This strand of work began in early 2018 and since then we have worked with over 750 young participants from across the UK on projects connecting them to over 50 artists and exploring every major artform area. 

Over the next year, Creative Citizens will take root in Lincoln/shire with a range of programme to help young people thrive and develop into confident, interesting and interested artists, collaborators and innovators, including:

  • Foundations - a six month creative training and experience programme, using Bronze Arts Award as a framework, for young artists (aged 14-19) in Lincoln/shire

  • Community Commissions - the creation of new public artworks, designed and created in collaboration with three neighbourhoods in Lincoln

  • SEA Training - a professional development course for new artists working in socially engaged contexts

  • The Art House - a new youth focused arts space in Lincoln Centre, with a 12wk programme of workshops, presentations and performances
