Shopfront stands as Sydney’s only cross-art form organisation led by and dedicated to the artistry of Young People. For over four decades, Shopfront has amplified the voices of Young People. Supported by practising, professional artists, their Young People make bold and ambitious works of creative expression.
PFA have awarded Shopfront Arts Co-Op a Small Grant towards funding a 20 minute performance to be shown on Fair Day 2024.
Shopfront’s LGBTQIA+ Advisory Panel of 5 Queer Young People aged 15–27, will develop a 20-minute performance celebrating the Mardi Gras theme ‘Our Future’ to be performed by queer YP on the family stage at Fair Day 2024. Alongside 2 queer artists, the panel will work with a group of up to 20 YP aged 10–18 over 30 hours of holiday workshops to develop 20 joyful minutes of performance that expresses their unique voices and Pride to a supportive community audience at Fair Day. This opportunity will support the 17% of YP who identify as queer in their organisation and show pride in their identities in a way that enriches each of them individually with new skills and confidence.
