Young Creative
A friendly and supportive 8 week creative art course for young people aged 12-16
We have also been testing out new spaces in town to exhibit in, including Airedale Shopping Centre, and the Old Beales Department Store (we love re-purposing old buildings!)
If you have an idea linked to our exhibition programme, get in touch with us on admin@keighleycreative.org
Here’s a picture of it looking great! But then we had to move buildings (it’s the nature of being a meanwhile space… we have to be ready to move with a months notice). This has pushed us to look for new ways to exhibit people’s work, and we’re pleased to say that we’ve continued to test and trial new approaches and venues to display work.
If you’re considering us for your next show, and if you love the arts and grass roots endeavours check out our exhibition form right here. Please note, due to our refurbishment, our exhibition programme is currently on hold, but we’re looking to the future, 2025 and beyond!
