Based on the successful National Saturday Club across the United Kingdom, QUT's Widening Participation Program, MBRC's Cultivate the Arts and Caboolture Regional Art Gallery's Uplift Program are trialing an Australian model across the Moreton Bay Region and beyond.
The program will provide young people with: professional development, hands-on participatory workshops, career-mapping, self-discovery and confidence-building experiences – empowering them to achieve, believe and develop a sense of belonging and pride.
Throughout the 7-week program, participants will deliver an exhibition in conjunction with National Youth Week and Caboolture Regional Art Gallery through the Uplift Program. The exhibition will open during National Youth Week with a celebration event on Saturday 6 April where participants can celebrate their successes with their families, teachers and support network.
