Good news has arrived for Tantrum Youth Arts, the Hunter Region’s professional youth arts organisation, which has earned both Federal funding from Creative Australia and backing from the City of Newcastle to present a major work at the New Annual festival in September 2024.

The debut work, WonderCity, will be created and performed by 25 young artists from Tantrum Youth Arts, including performers aged nine to 16 and young artists with disability above the age of 18.
