There are currently a number of Young Arts Groups across the UK. Groups are usually affiliated to their local Decorative and Fine Arts Society. Initial funding for a Group is often given by the local society and the relationship remains close. Membership is usually open to all young people aged between 8 and 18. YA Groups are run by volunteer teams, who organize exciting programmes of arts activities for members throughout the year. These activities can include; hands-on workshops with expert tuition, themed craft days, visits to artists' studios, galleries, museums, theatres and historic houses.
Group activities give members opportunities to learn new skills and techniques and to make new friends. YA Group members also receive details of all national events via their Group’s newsletter or programme and the NADFAS website |
