Young people are at the heart of Numbi, programming arts educational projects for young audiences but also training young people in the areas of curation and arts heritage. Most recently, Numbi Arts has collaborated with many organizations to deliver several engagement initiatives and heritage projects targeted at younger participants.

Leave your mark, create a legacy!

This March, join our exciting free five-week programme, every Friday after-school and change the face of Bethnal Green forever!

Numbi Arts, Rich Mix and A-Team Arts Education are looking for creative young people in Tower Hamlets to co-create public art in the borough. This five week programme will explore local history, design and printmaking to support young creatives in making their own piece of public art, a mural that will be on permanent display in Bethnal Green High Street.
