V@GLOBE BlindCorner 02/04/08 -

Globe's North Shields site now place for young people to get vinvolved!

Globe Gallery offers young people in Newcastle and North Tyneside a range of opportunities to get vinvolved in contemporary visual arts projects!

Globe Gallery is inviting young people aged 16-25 to get involved in an exciting new community arts project in Newcastle & North Tyneside that pushes the boundaries of creativity.

From 2nd April 2008, the V@GLOBE project is launching a search for enthusiastic young people committed to making a real difference in their community by offering hundreds of young volunteers the opportunity to participate in a series of socially engaging contemporary art projects that directly reflect their passions, desires and talents. The volunteers will be able to work hands on with well-known resident artists, develop their own creative concepts, become a member of the steering committee, research, market, document and deliver their projects. Young people can be involved as little or as much as they feel best suits their needs, from one-off taster sessions to part time project involvement to full-time voluntary roles lasting for around 13 weeks at 30 hours per week. Full-time volunteers will be able to work towards nationally recognised accreditations equivalent to two GCSE’s.

Globe’s vinvolved projects are based on firm the belief that contemporary art can enhance, inform and positively change young people’s lives.

Globe’s first vinvolved project BlindCorner launches on 2nd April 2008 at their North Shields art space. The project uses the site’s considerable window space to provide young people with the opportunity to express their creative responses to their lives, community and environment to the outside world using innovatively designed window blinds. Many of the volunteers involved in this project will be from various wards within North Tyneside thus allowing young people from a diverse range of backgrounds (including disadvantaged young people) to work together and make new friends through the mediums of art and volunteering.

SO IF YOU'RE AGED 16 TO 25 WHY NOT GET VINVOLVED @ GLOBE?
