Circuit

Circuit is a group of 18-25 year olds who work on creative events and projects with art galleries Kettle’s Yard and Wysing Arts Centre.

If you’re 18-25 years old, like being creative and want to meet people and learn new skills, Circuit is for you.

Circuit is an opportunity to:

  • Have your voice heard
  • Meet new people
  • Develop new ideas
  • Learn new skills
  • Work alongside artists, creative professionals and peers
  • Be part of the Kettle’s Yard and Wysing Arts Centre programmes
  • Gain experience in an arts organisation

When does Circuit meet?

Circuit meets on alternate Tuesday evenings from 5-6.30pm via Zoom.

This term there will also be a number of in-person meetups at Kettle’s Yard and Wysing Arts Centre on Tuesday afternoons (subject to changing guidance around Covid19). More details about these will follow soon.

All Circuit sessions are free to attend, and we provide transport from Cambridge when sessions run at Wysing.

Circuit Social – the best way to find out more

Our first session of the term is the Circuit Social on Tuesday 6th October, 5pm. Join artist Harold Offeh for fun, creative activities and find out more about Circuit.

Book your place here.

What do members say about Circuit?

‘I come to meet other people, different people that have similar interests.’

‘It feels privileged to get to be in the galleries after hours. It’s also nice for me to be doing something creative with other people as normally everything I do is self – led.’

‘I’ve done a lot of volunteering but Circuit is one of the places where I’ve felt more valued and welcomed. It’s GREAT getting food and snacks. I really enjoy taking part in Kettle’s Yard Lates and getting involved in events.’

‘I’m so chuffed by this project – I can’t believe my work is in the galleries next to Louise Bourgeois, and we mixed it, recorded it, edited it.’
