“Violet has only just started showing an interest in theatre-making, writing, acting and performance and it’s clear to me that Carclew’s program has fuelled this passion for her even further!” – Emma, Violet’s (aged 11) mum.
At Carclew, we believe that creativity means something different for every child. We’re dedicated to unlocking these possibilities for all young people. Our mission is to connect all children and young people with the world of creative possibilities as artists, learners and audiences.
Why Creativity Matters:
Youth arts nurture future artists and foster innovative thinkers and compassionate leaders in all areas. The skills learned through art and creativity will shape the adults of tomorrow, transforming our communities for the better.
For over fifty years, South Australia has been a leader in youth arts, with Carclew at its heart. Our legacy is built upon partnerships with world-leading organisations, delivering extraordinary, adventurous artistic experiences that set national and global standards.
An Investment in Our Future:
Our children are our state’s most valuable asset. Investing in their creative potential is essential for building a strong economy and society. Creative experiences foster a sense of belonging and open doors to future success for every child.
