Hi all.
My name is Matthew Barnett and I am currently contracted by the Festival of Youth Arts (FYA) to develop its Visual Arts programming for the 2007 Festival. FYA organizes its annual Festival to showcase the very best of youth arts in London. To be held in 2007 from the 26th May to the 1st June, this high profile event will be launched in Trafalgar Square and feature a wide range of performance and visual arts from across the capital.
FYA exists to give young people the opportunity to showcase their creative skills and to support the development of their creative passion. To achieve this, FYA works with young people, youth groups, established arts venues and arts organisations to give unique experiences and opportunities to young people. Current partners include Hackney Empire, the National Gallery, the Institute for Contemporary Arts, Stratford Circus, Oval House, the National Portrait Gallery and the Theatre Museum.
We are currently looking at further developing our partner networks for the upcoming Festival. In particular, I am looking to source a team of VJs who would like to volunteer to work with a team of young people on two music and performance events - at Jongleurs in Camden and Carling Academy. We have had a large amount of film and digital graphics work submitted and I feel the best way to showcase this is in the form of some kind of multimedia mixing environment. At present, we have noone with the specific expertise to offer this opportunity and I was wondering if you had any ideas or contacts that could assist. Alternatively, if you can help me identify any youth or workshop groups working in this field (or if you are under 25 yourself) then I would be very interested in offering these two events as an opportunity.
Please contact me if you would like to discuss this further. In the meantime, if you would like more information, I would recommend visiting our website at www.festivalofyoutharts.org.uk (http://www.festivalofyoutharts.org.uk)
