City Arts, Young Producers

The Young Producers group support and encourage each other to take part in the arts. City Arts supports the group with resources, funding and advice

Young Producers is a great way to meet new people. Join to learn new skills, collaborate on projects and keep being creative!

How it works

Young Producers meet monthly to share skills, plan events and exhibitions, and explore the local arts scene. Each year the group contribute to local festivals and events. These include Nottingham Poetry Festival, Nottinghamshire Pride and Nottingham Comedy Festival. Each November, Young Producers takeover the City Arts building for a mini-festival. In the run up to these events the group meet more frequently. However, you are welcome to contribute as much or little time as you can.

Meetings generally take place at the City Arts building in Hockley.
