CreateJam is a place for 11-24 year olds to escape the labels society puts on us and just create. At CreateJam we empower young people in their individual artistic practice and their ability to share that practice with others. We are co-creating community and a place we all feel we belong.
How can I join in?
From October 2024 we have three different groups that young people aged 11-24 are welcome to join:
Fridays – CreateJam Club
On Fridays we run a group after school for teenagers aged 11+. We open the session at 3.30pm but you can join up til 4.15pm depending on when you can get there. We finish at approximately 5pm to 5.15pm.
At the moment we start with snacks and some doodling then play music, either forming an ad hoc bands or looking at creating sounds using apps etc. You don’t need to be ‘good’ at art or music to get involved. Please get in touch if you’d like to come along
Wednesdays – CreateJam Session
On Wednesdays 1.30-3.30pm we have a daytime session with members of 4Eden, most of whom are aged 18+. We mix painting and music and have created some great pieces and art to hang on the walls. We welcome new members – do get in touch if you’d like to try this session.
Ad Hoc – Digital CreateJam
Our newest group is focusing on animation and soundtracks and meets online at present. We are exploring different apps that allow us to create the work we want to, as well as learning how to lead workshops using these skills. Get in touch to find out about opportunities and events coming up.
CreateJam is funded by Cumbria Youth Alliance.
