Last call for the Enfield of Dreams project! You have till midnight on Sunday to apply to be part of this transformative two-year programme that foregrounds the voices of young people.
Enfield of Dreams will unfold over two years and will involve a set of "Creative Cluster" projects which will see Enfield's cultural partners, artists and young people co-creating a series of public projects in parks and green spaces; an artist-led creative learning programme in schools; and a skills and development programme for Enfield's Young Cultural Leaders. All of this will support young people's voices taking centre stage in the development of the new cultural strategy for Enfield as well as strengthen the borough's creative network.
This ambitious project is led by public art and community engagement organisation UP Projects, working in partnership with Enfield’s cultural and community organisations, artists, creatives, young people and schools. The project is supported by an Arts Council England Place Partnership grant and by Enfield-based Local Motion.
There are four opportunities to get involved in Enfield of Dreams:
- Enfield-based young people aged 18-30 can apply to take part in a two-year Young Cultural Leaders skills and development programme that will enable a diverse group of young people from across the borough to gain leadership skills, experience and confidence in arts programming, and management;
- Artists and creatives can apply to take part in Creative Cluster Projects, a series of ambitious projects for Enfield’s public realm developed through a process of co-creation between Enfield’s cultural organisations, artists and young people;
- Artist-educators can apply to take part in a Creative Learning Programme that will see artists, young people and teachers co-devising creative learning workshops for students in Enfield Secondary schools that aim to open young minds to creative career pathways;
- Arts & Culture Professionals can apply to deliver leadership development workshops for the Young Cultural Leaders.
We are welcoming applications for all of these opportunities through an open call closing at midnight on Sunday 8 February 2026.
