The Blueprint Collective
The Blueprint Collective is actively seeking new members.
We are the Blueprint Collective, a group of young people 16 – 22 years old who aim to develop creative and leadership skills, produce cultural reviews and events, and make change happen!
OUR VALUES
We believe in the importance of creativity, friendship and having fun. We value respect, equality and individuality. We create space for all members to express themselves freely. We are The Blueprint Collective.
WHAT WE DO
- Develop our creative skills through art making, workshops, events, and creative research trips.
- Collaborate with artists, creatives, and collectives to learn and create together.
