....areas and societies
enjoy organising arts activities for young people by supporting young
arts
groups or young arts projects.
...young arts groups are junior societies with members aged 8 to 18.
...young arts projects are arts related activities for an individual, or a number of young people, organised and/or funded by each area and/or individual societies.
....projects are organised according to local circumstances, and the format varies according to local opportunities and needs, and the funding available.
....involvement may be
anything from sponsorship to organising major arts
events. Projects generally take place in schools, museums and galleries,
and may be run in partnership with LEA or local arts organisations
working with the young.
