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
