Youth

1. Youth Art Group

Are you aged 10-17 and interested in art? The Youth Art Group offers a safe and inclusive space where young people can build confidence, self-esteem and resilience while creating art. Art can be a powerful tool to look after wellbeing and mental health. Through the Youth Art Group, we will explore a variety of art forms including painting, sketching, sculpture and cartooning. Whether you are a budding artist or just starting your artistic journey, there’s a place for you here.

Come along to make friends, have fun, and explore your creativity. This group is free of cost and is facilitated by the QPRC Community Team.
