Ikon Youth Programme (IYP) is for young people who share an interest in visual art. Meeting regularly at Ikon Gallery participants aged 16–21 years old are encouraged to devise creative projects, establish networks with other youth groups and share their thoughts and opinions about a range of topics.
Ikon Gallery’s Slow Boat has recently undergone a transformation as it embarks on its next three year programme, Looping the Loop.
Featuring a new design by Lamorna Conlon (a member of Ikon Youth Programme), Ikon’s Slow Boat boasts a bold and striking exterior which reflects the colours used by the gallery’s founding artists.
Slow Boat, crewed by members of the Ikon Youth Programme (IYP) alongside a selection of artists, will navigate the Birmingham and Sandwell canals from Icknield Port Loop to the Smethwick Pumping House, engaging local residents in workshops, performances and screenings.
An archive of Ikon’s exhibitions, projects and events with resources including gallery guides, films with artists and audio recordings of events.
