Applications are open to regional young people aged between sixteen and 27 years.

Horizons will provide creative industry mentorship across all creative mediums including visual arts, crafts, performing arts, music, film and television, publishing, design, gaming, technology and cultural heritage.

Five young people will be chosen from the Mid North Coast.

“Starting in January 2024, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and this can be life changing,” Olivia Parker, Executive Director of Arts Mid North Coast told NOTA.

“You can also be interested in the career of curating or producing, so apply for it and don’t leave it to the last minute.”

Participants will be paired with an experienced mentor from their chosen field who is based in regional NSW and develop works for a collective showcase that addresses pressing issues for regional young people.

Horizons is a free program and includes a $750 stipend plus approved travel and materials expenses.

Arts Mid North Coast is excited to offer this opportunity to youth on the Mid North Coast.

Participants from the local government areas of the Nambucca Valley, Bellingen Shire and Coffs Harbour are invited to apply.

Applications close 10 November through https://artsmidnorthcoast.com/join-our-exciting-regional-nsw-youth-project-horizons/
