Pavilion education grant

A £75,000 grant will allow the De La Warr Pavilion to help young people realise their potential.

The charitable trust has been given a two-year grant from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation to assist in their development programme for youths.

The pavilion looks to provide a wide-range of opportunities for young people and their families to engage with art and culture.

The grant will allow the trust to move into the second stage of its development programme, 'Inspire, Create, Innovate.'

Consultations will be held with artists, teachers and young people.

The programme will build on recent work and offer new projects such as the young curators programme, exploring the pavilion as a resource for learning and developing and working with artists in residence to offer different ways of engaging with exhibitions.

It aims to, 'develop tools to engage and critique contemporary culture, and in particular contemporary visual culture."

It is hoped the programme will encourage young people to 'question the world' and understand the importance of risk and experimentation in creative practice.
