Great to be part of this day organised by Perth Festival of Perth Festival of the Arts
What a day! Today we joined by 150 young people from across Perth and Kinross to deliver the Festival's first ever 'Creative Futures' day which introduced young people to a range of creative arts roles and prepare them for next steps on their career paths. We explored photography, film industry, technical theatre, music production, gallery curation, video game design, acting, songwriting and much more! 🎬🎭
We met a brilliant group of young people - enthusiastic, knowledgable and full of ideas and creativity. We can't wait to see what the future holds for them.
