Corrugated Iron Youth Arts

Welcome to Corrugated Iron Youth Arts, located at 18 Bauhinia Street in Nightcliff, Australia. As an establishment and point of interest, we are proud to be the leading youth arts company in the Northern Territory. Our institution plays a vital role in a region where there is no performing arts tertiary training or major performing arts company.

At Corrugated Iron, we believe in acknowledging and respecting the Traditional Custodians of the lands where our work takes place across the vast Northern Territory. We recognize their ongoing connection to land, waters, community, and culture. We pay our respects to the elders, both past and present.

We are also proud to support a First Nations Voice to Parliament and the Uluru Statement from the Heart. By doing so, we strive to create an inclusive and diverse artistic community that represents and empowers young people from all backgrounds.

Our primary goal is to engage, train, mentor, and employ emerging artists and creative professionals who inspire children and young people to develop their skills and forge pathways in the arts. We believe in inspiring the NOW generation of creative leaders, movers, and shakers to take the lead in shaping our artistic program, ensuring that it is driven by the voices of young people.

Through cross-sector partnerships, we work towards removing barriers to participation and ensuring that young people across the Northern Territory have access to creative experiences. Our artistic program features term-based workshops, performances, special projects, and a significant community engagement program delivered in urban, regional, and remote communities.

We are honored to have received support from the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its funding and advisory body, as well as the Northern Territory Government and City of Darwin. These partnerships enable us to continue our important work and provide opportunities for young artists to thrive.

Join us at Corrugated Iron Youth Arts and be part of a vibrant and inclusive artistic community. Together, we can inspire, create, and shape the future of the arts in the Northern Territory.
