The Youth Arts Open Fund supports artists or organisations to deliver arts activity for children and young people – primarily those who have traditionally found it hardest to access such opportunities.

Funded projects are expected to engage children and young people in high-quality and accessible arts activity that empowers them through self-expression, enhances their health, wellbeing and personal development, and builds their confidence and skills.

For full details on the outcomes and key target groups, please see the fund guidelines available on the YouthLink website.
