Inspire Youth Arts delivers high-quality, inclusive arts opportunities for young people across Nottinghamshire. 

Our programme includes regular term-time sessions, bespoke school holiday projects, and unique experiences in music, dance, and digital art. We collaborate with artists, partners, and cultural organisations from across Nottinghamshire, the Midlands, and nationally. 

Inspire Youth Arts is based at The Old Library, Mansfield and delivers work across schools, colleges and professional arts venues in Nottingham/shire. The Old Library features a professional recording studio, a 100-seat theatre, and versatile studio spaces for workshops, rehearsals and performances. 

Access and inclusion are at the centre of everything we do. We are committed to providing equitable opportunities and creative agency for all young people. We actively encourage young people with a physical and/or learning disability and/or who are neurodivergent to take part. Our work reflects the FREDIE principles (Fairness, Respect, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Engagement) and represents Nottinghamshire diverse communities.

As a learning organisation, Inspire Youth Arts is committed to evolving through training, and open dialogue, to ensure our programmes remain inclusive, relevant, and inspiring.
