Lighthouse Young Creative alum Amber on their creative journey since being on the LYC programme
Brighton Festival & Brighton Dome Artist in Residence for Our Place
Amber’s creative journey in Brighton was shaped by their time on our Lighthouse Young Creatives (LYC) programme back in 2023/24. Being part of the LYC cohort gave them the confidence to say, “I belong in this space.”
Since then, they’ve continued to grow as an artist, recently commissioned recently commissioned by Brighton Festival & Brighton Dome as an Artist in Residence for Our Place in Moulsecoomb & Bevendean.
Through sculpture and creative workshops exploring growth, resilience and community, Amber invited unrepresented participants facing barriers to the arts from communities in Moulsecoomb and Bevendean to reflect on the question: “What does community mean to you?”
Their work is a powerful example of how creativity can root us in connection and inspire change. 💚
We’re super proud that Amber is part of our LYC alumni and are excited to see how their creative journey continues.
