Calling all creatives, community groups and organisations - we're seeking expressions of interest for engaging children and youth events in 2026.
We're particularly inviting a range of artists like musicians, performing artists, designers and illustrators who can provide a new, unique or special experience for children and youth. We’re seeking events that are different to our existing children’s and youth programming that might attract new audiences to our libraries.
If this sounds like something you can provide, we'd love to hear from you!
Please refer to this information page for further details on the selection criteria, eligibility and available spaces.
Apply here. Applications close Monday 20 October 2025.
