About Shopfront: 

Shopfront stands as Sydney’s only cross-art form organisation led by and dedicated to the artistry of Young People. For over four decades, Shopfront has amplified the voices of Young People. Supported by practising, professional artists, our Young People make bold and ambitious works of creative expression. We are an inclusive community of artists sharing a common goal of making great art (and having a lot of fun along the way). 

Our artistic practice is co-operative. Our process of collaborative art making is social, political, and empowering. Our Young People are challenged to consider their place in the world and respond to it through art of all forms. Working with established artists, our Young People experience art as valued creators, developing critical thinking and a lifelong love of the arts. Emerging and early career artists at Shopfront experience unprecedented access to artistic career opportunities, developing their creative practice in a safe and supportive space. Our Young People represent a vibrant future for the arts in Australia as makers, innovators, and engaged audiences.
