Royal Pavilion & Museums' Summer Youth Arts Programme

A creative workshop will take place in each of our 5 sites across Brighton & Hove – all of them are free to attend.

The participants will have the opportunity to explore our buildings and collections, meet museum staff and work with professional artists to learn new creative skills such as fabric monoprinting, drama, iPad animations, graffiti and carved clay tiles.

The programme is designed for young people who may not have visited the Museums before, and will be particularly targeted at young people who may be socially excluded or those not in education, employment, or training (NEET).

The summer programme is a great opportunity to do something creative and fun in a supportive and inspiring environment. Participants can sign up for 1 workshop or all 5. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

If you are interested, or know a young person who might be, then please contact Sarah Pain to book a space: [email protected] / 07833 483245.
