backbone youth arts is a community organisation dedicated to young artists from the AGES of 0-30. We celebrate connection, creativity and community.

WE WORK TO AMPLIFY THE VOICES OF THE CURIOUS, UNTAMED, AND EXPERIMENTAL THINKERS AND PROVIDE A PLATFORM TO SEE THEIR UNIQUE IDEAS DEVELOP AND FLOURISH.
