We open up our building and allow our young audience to directly engage with our creative community, discover new artists, be inspired. by our programme and the building itself, aiming to offer the space and tools for development while also providing access to a professional context and contacts.
We have three clear aims which all feed into programme for 16 – 30 year olds.
1) Nurturing Creativity
Nurture the next generation of creatives, providing them with the skills and networks that Somerset House offers and equipping them for a changing world that doesn’t recognise arts forms in its traditional self.
2) Relevance
Build the reputation and the profile of the youth offer at Somerset House establishing it as a working arts for creatives aged 16 and up, pushing creative boundaries, tackling the important issues of today that bring in audiences
3) Diversity and Inclusion
Support a diverse cohort of young talent to access and feed into the contemporary cultural offer through co-production and co-creation, that expand the audience reach
