WHY?

We know that Young People are more like artists than ever before. You are born Digital Natives curating and creating your own content, and you are constantly re-defining how we consume culture. 

By improving access to a diverse range of events, opportunities and experiences, as a Playwave member you will be able to meet as a community to engage with and recognise your natural connection to the arts, in a way that’s not just meaningful, it’s inspiring.

     

    THIS IS US

    We are storytellers, inventors, explorers, place-makers, cultural entrepreneurs, film fans. Playwave creates unique spaces for social encounters, adventures and discoveries where ideas come to life.  We are a youth-led network, empowering young people to use their voice as a tool to enliven the cultural life of our city.
