This free event for 13-19 year olds is a unique opportunity for young people to learn about their opportunities in the creative industries. Organised by the Exhibition Road Cultural Group (ERCG), Creative Quarter provides a chance to meet professional artists, designers and scientists – as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students – and to take part in free drop-in activities, workshops, talks and demonstrations.
It gives access to some of the latest developments in the creative industries, as well as an overview of different education and career pathways young people can follow.
Led by the V&A, ERCG member organisations running events this year include: Imperial College London; Kensington Palace; Royal Albert Hall; Royal College of Art; Royal College of Music; Science Museum; and other ERCG member organisations.
