We’re all about bringing arts and creativity directly to Nottingham’s communities, and so we’re excited to announce YOUNG HUSTLERS: OUT & ABOUT— our brand new engagement programme leading up to the festival on 20th October!
Freedom Arts workshops
Freedom Arts have been a staple collaborator of Young Hustlers since it's inception in 2017. The organisation, led by the wonder woman that is Coleen Francis, have featured at every Young Hustlers Festival and it wouldn't be the same without them. Last year we embarked on a new project taking the work out into communtiy across Nottingham inviting families to come and join in creating some flags which made up part of the street decoration for the festival itself. This year the festivals theme is LOUD and PROUD and we're excited to be hosting another 6 free sessions for families to come down, get creative and create your very own piece of art celebrating what makes you, your family, and your community special.

Jah Digga at Djanogly City Academy
We're PROUD to be joined by iconic Nottingham rapper, Jah Digga! Renowned for his clever use of words through his music, Jah Digga is a master of storytelling and self-expression. He will be leading a series of workshops with students at Djanology City Academy, inspiring them to embrace this year's festival theme of LOUD & PROUD through their own musical creations, some of which will be performed live at a special young people's performance at Blend Sneinton on festival day.
Young Producers at City Arts Nottingham
A collective of 18-30-year-old aspiring creatives based at City Arts will learn cultural programming through a series of workshops with the Hustle Collective team. With an allocated budget, they will design and deliver City Arts’ programme for this year’s festival.
