Creative Youth Lab 2025

Wexford Arts Centre is seeking expressions of interest from TY students who would like to participate in the Creative Youth lab 2025 where students and facilitators collaborate on developing creative projects together.  The Creative Youth Lab has been running successfully since 2022 and participants have learned valuable skills in project development, critical skills learning, performance, visual, script writing and video making. Some of the former Creative Youth Lab participants have gone on to further third level study programmes in art, design and performance and have also benefitted from applying skills learnt to areas of interest as well as developing new friendships and collaborations with other participants with same interests.

The Creative Youth lab will run weekly on Wednesday 2-4pm from 15th January 2025 until 18th June, 2025 for 20 weeks with breaks for Spring/Easter. The lab is free of charge.  There is a limited number of places up to maximum of 15 for participants.  This year there may be opportunity to explore developing scripts and producing short films with VR technology as part of a shared island collaboration with The Mac, Belfast also supported by Gorey School of Art and Ulster University pending funding and may require additional time for online collaboration on certain dates from 4-5pm.  Potential in person opportunities to visit The Mac in Belfast as part of this project collaboration may also be included.

The lab will be facilitated by Jeni Roddy, artist with experience in visual, performance, production and costume design with support from guest facilitators including Peter Murphy, writer, spoken word, music and performance/podcast artist and Stephen James Smith Spoken word artist and other guest artists including facilitators from Belfast with VR technology experience.

Facilitators will provide valuable expertise for guiding participating youths in the lab on transforming creative ideas into creative projects which may include visual art exhibitions/installations or performance events, podcast or other mixed media, VR projects for young audience engagement.  Additional support will be provided by the Wexford Arts Centre management team advising on budgeting/fundraising/marketing/technical production of creative projects.

This is a great opportunity for youths to lead on development of a creative programme for young people in Wexford in association with Wexford Arts Centre.  

We encourage and welcome applications from young people of all genders, nationalities, races, cultural backgrounds, ages, religions, languages, abilities, sexual orientations and socio-economic statuses. 

To apply, Transition Year students in schools,  please email elizabeth@wexfordartscentre.ie with brief information about yourself and creative ideas that interest you and would like to see developed as part of a programme at Wexford Arts Centre.  You can also send a short video/audio file link if preferred (ensure under 3 mins).

Limited places. No fee required to participate.  Deadline for applications Monday 13th January 5pm.  If you have any access requirements or additional needs, please let us know and we will find a way to support and facilitate your application.

Supported by Arts Council Ireland and Wexford County Council.
