About this site

This is the website for UK Young Artists (UKYA).
 
UKYA has 4 main aims. These are

• Showcase the best of the UK's young and innovative creative talent at regular national and international events

• Give vital support to young artists (18-30) at a critical time in their career

• Increase confidence in young artists and support emerging creative networks and professional development

• Promote the values of intercultural dialogue, art as a language of peace and cultural exchange

 
This website is intended to help UKYA reach its goals by enabling young artists across the UK to find out about the event and how to apply. The website will also raise the profile of young UK artists. Over time other opportunities and activities will be promoted through this website.
 
The website was funded by Arts Council England East Midlands and four East Midlands universities, Nottingham Trent University, De Montfort University, University of Derby, and Loughborough University . It launched in September 2009 following a project managed by Arts Council East Midlands. The site was designed and built by Cogapp. The UKYA brand was developed by Nick Chaffe.
