The main aim of the youth arts outreach programme was to increase access
to the world of visual arts by:
- encouraging and supporting the participation of young people, aged 10
to 25, for whom access to the arts is not traditionally available; - offering activities to new audiences in partnership with existing youth
organisations - inspiring creative potential, building self esteem and raising achievement
- equipping young people with social, administrative, managerial and artistic
skills and experience - appropriately motivating, supporting and encouraging young people to take
up further education, training and employment in the arts.

Crescent Arts’ youth arts outreach programme is supported by Scarborough Borough
Council and Yorkshire Arts.
