As part of National Youth Week, At the Local takes an in-depth look at a very special project run by Art Therapist Kandy McCout at Boystown Logan. A group of young people shared their thoughts and feelings about the role music plays in their life, then they recorded some performances in Dubwise Studios and put it all together to form the Songscapes Documentary. At the Local premieres the doco this week and invites the young people involved on a tour of 4ZzZ.

Yes This Is Art!

National Youth Week 2009 (March 28-April 5) is a week full of events to celebrate and showcase the talent of Australia’s younger generations. One event that caught At The Local’s attention was ‘Yes This Is Art’, an event created by a young artist, for young artists. Yes This Is Art runs over two days in the Moreton Bay Region and includes a concert, art exhibition and free workshops.

Giordana and Laura talk to the event’s creator and organiser Sarah Keating about the line up, and about what it means to be a young artist in 2009. Local band Damasyria, who will be playing at Yes This Is Art, also drop into the studio to give a live performance.
