Discover Young Hackney is back!

January 23 – March 14 ‘09

Hackney’s youth arts festival is back again giving you the opportunity to show off your talent or try out something new within the arts. The festival is even bigger this year and we are giving you the opportunity to get involved and let us know what you think using this blog.

The line-up will see events across the borough in music, dance, arts, film, theatre, storytelling, media, fashion and design – with two main themes: internationalism and disability arts. All of these events are free and open to everyone. There are so many organisations out there offering you the chance to excel in the art form that inspires you, so get involved!

Here you’ll find news, events, photos and videos, including video trailers from the organisations offering FREE events in February and March ’09.

Keep watching to see events unfold and let us know what you think along the way.

We’d also love to hear what you’re up to as a member of any group or organisation. Post reviews, ideas, photos and videos. You could also promote your own events.

So, if you’re part of a dance, music or film group, or you’re excited about your future in the arts, just let us know. Get involved. Get your friends involved.
