Join our community of young creatives and make a difference by engaging with the arts and entertainment.
Alexandra Palace is committed to developing the next generation of creative talent. Our Young People’s programmes signpost and showcase a breadth of careers and encourage opportunities in the creative arts to enable young people to reach their full potential. From early childhood through to young adults we want to nurture a lifelong love for the arts and entertainment.
Join illustrator Alice Haskell as she takes you on a voyage of self-exploration and reflection helping you to achieve a state of serenity through the ART of letting go. Drawing on a lifetime of artistic practice that blurs the boundaries between art, psychology and alternative therapies, Alice will guide you through a series of techniques to help you expand your drawing skills, relax, unwind, gain closure and shower yourself with kindness.
This session has been designed by Alexandra Palace’s Youth Programming Team and is primarily for young creatives aged 16-24. The workshop will take place on Zoom on Tuesday 15th December from 7pm – 8.30pm.

Make some noise and join the global music conversation.
Whatever your age, location, musical or artistic skill, we invite you to take part in a worldwide Graphic Score Project.
Musicians, budding musicians or the just plain curious can create a musical score without any formal music training, and have their score performed and turned into music and sound art. There’s also a chance to win prizes along the way.
You can enter The Global Score Project as either a composer or a performer, or both.
So, how does it work?
For full information read our guide, which tells you all you need to know.
Also check the School of Noise website for loads of examples and the story behind graphic scores.
Before you get started, here’s experimental musician Alfredo Genovesi with his graphic score and musical interpretation.
For UK entrants there is a chance to win prizes including tickets to Kaleidoscope Festival or GO-APE at Alexandra Palace. Plus free workshops in our Creativity Pavilion for School entries.
