PIVOT is Propel Youth Arts WA’s professional development program designed for young people. It is aimed at providing tangible skillsets and pathways for them to work in the arts sector and as artists.

PIVOT Project Officer Rebecca Riggs-Bennett tells ArtsHub how responses from young people have been shaping this year’s program. ‘I’ve had the pleasure of meeting with numerous different groups of young people in the past few months, some are early-career artists and others have passion towards the arts. From them, we are hearing a continuous question mark around what to do next, where to go and how to find out what you want to do.
