Cardboard Collective is our youth music and live event production programme that champions unheard artists while focusing on skills development. It’s a chance to start or enhance your music and events journey, socialise and have fun in a supportive environment.
Who is Cardboard Collective For?
The Collective is for those aged 16-25 (and sometimes up to 30). If you’re a musician, vocalist, creative, host, social media guru, or just want to try something new—this programme is for you.
Being part of the collective will connect you with like-minded individuals and help you take steps into the music and creative industries.
No experience necessary!
