DIVE INTO THE HEART OF PERTH FESTIVAL
We are looking for passionate young people interested in any art form – from film to music, photography to drama and visual arts to literature – who are keen to contribute to culture and the arts in Western Australia.
About Young Creatives
Young Creatives dive into the heart of Perth Festival, attending performances, connecting with artists and Festival staff and peeking behind the curtains to see what makes a festival tick. An individual program is especially tailored to each Young Creative, with a mixture of individual and group activities engaging them across the Festival.

Be aged between 15 – 18 at the time of submitting your Expression of Interest

Have an interest in an art form
Be able to attend up to ten hours of activities (outside of regular school hours) each week during the 2020 Perth Festival (7 February – 1 March)
Key Information
Participation in Young Creatives is free of charge for successful applicants. Perth Festival provides tickets to select performances, activities and events. We will try to support participants with transport if they have issues getting to and from Festival events.
For the majority of Young Creatives events, participants will be supervised by Finn O’Branagáin, the Young Creatives Program Coordinator. Participants may attend some events without the present of the supervisor.
