Young Art Kommunity (YAK) is Firstsite gallery's young-people peer-led group, which meets weekly to organise events and activities within the gallery and the wider community. The group offers a supportive environment where young people can gain experience, develop their confidence and learn new skills. Their relaxed and informal sessions include artist-led workshops, skill sharing, visits to other cultural venues and events, and the potential to progress your own personal creative projects.

YAK is open to anyone aged 15–25, and is open every Thursday at Firstsite during term time, 5-7pm. To join or find out more, please email Beth at yak@firstsite.uk
