Supported by thePaul Hamlyn Foundation, Circuit aims to reach 80,000 young people aged 15-25 over four years, through festivals, sustained partnership work and artist-led projects. The programme provides opportunities for young people across theUK, particularly those who have the least access to the arts, to participate and shape their own cultural experiences. Alongside Tate are five national partners: firstsite,Colchester; MOSTYN, Llandudno North Wales; Nottingham Contemporary;WhitworthArtGallery,Manchester; and Wysing Arts Centre in collaboration with Kettle’s Yard, Cambridgeshire. All four Tate galleries will be involved: Tate Modern and TateBritain inLondon, Tate Liverpool, and Tate St Ives (working closely withNewlynArtGallery and The Exchange).
