About the Youth Arts Advocacy Council

The Youth Arts Advocacy Council is a group of BCAT youth and community youth artists who come together to explore how creativity can build community, amplify youth voices, and address issues that matter to young people. Council members collaborate throughout the year to plan creative projects, events, and conversations that highlight the impact of youth art and culture. Art Bloc: The Gathering is one of the council’s youth-led initiatives designed to bring young creatives together to share ideas, learn from one another, and celebrate the power of youth expression.

This event is made possible through support from the Peter and Elizabeth Tower Foundation through their Community Experts Grant program. This support helps amplify youth leadership and creativity by providing resources for youth-led programs, workshops, and community engagement opportunities.
