Breeze Arts Foundation Autumn 2017 September – December is a 14- week creative industries and performance programme where young people will have the opportunity to work with a variety of artists and creative professionals and work towards attaining an Arts Award.

This term focuses on introduction to music, creative writing, exhibitions and installations.  Over the term, the group will devise and create an installation or performance piece.

Young people will be enrolled as Leeds city college students once they join this course.
