What we do
We provide workshops, events, and courses, led by artists and designers in a range of creative disciplines including art, design, fashion, digital media, performance and architecture. This includes a variety of creative activities for ages 13-26.
V&A Youth Collective
The V&A Youth Collective is a group of young people aged 18 – 24 from a diverse range of backgrounds and lived experiences, who are interested in any area of art, design, or performance, and in pursuing a creative career.
Together they shape events and content at V&A South Kensington, whilst gaining inspiring insight into creative careers, the museum sector, and skills development opportunities.
How to join the V&A Youth Collective
This opportunity will re-open for Submissions in Autumn 2025. If you have any questions please email youngpeople@vam.ac.uk
