29% Festival
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————-Youth Board applications for 29% Festival are now open! We’re looking for 10 young people aged 13-20 to work with us on making the artistic and programming decisions for 29% Festival 2025. If successful, you will be paid £15 p/h and meet with us quarterly to make this year’s festival something that young people from across the district can get excited about.
It’s a great opportunity for any young people interested in the arts but also those interested in business, project management, finance or community engagement to get some paid work experience and build transferable skills.
Applications can be made via this link and will close at 10am Monday 31st March, please share with any young people you work with and your wider networks.
We will be launching our paid commissions for young artists to create or perform new work at the festival (across any art form including facilitating workshops) later this year, so please keep your eyes peeled for that.
