tbC’s arts model is distinguished by a dedicated and contemporary art focus. Artmaking is the central activity. This differs from traditional community art practices, youth development models and formal arts education, where social outcomes or the meeting of educational and wellbeing targets primarily shape activity.
tbC believes that a dedicated youth arts practice leads to earlier artistic agency and status. Members engage with tbC for extended periods, positioning themselves as practicing artists, launching artistic careers.
