Are you a young person in Arbroath or Angus interested in making art? We are looking for this year’s Young Artists. 

Art can be anything you like! Drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, filmmaking, performance, computer art and more.

Hospitalfield’s Young Artist Club is a chance to hang out with friends, take part in creative activities and have fun! Members meet regularly to try new art activities and develop their own ideas with support from a lead artist. It’s free to be involved. Travel, access costs and snacks are available at all meet-ups.

Register here before midnight, 4 May 2022.
