YOUNG+IDLE
Non-profit art collective producing clothes and art exhibitions to generate funds and awareness for charities while raising the profile of young creatives.
THE PROJECT
YOUNG+IDLE are a non-profit art collective I founded and have run since 2015; we aim to generate funds and awareness for charities while raising the profile of young creatives.
I wanted to challenge the modern narrative of a lazy, disconnected youth and present what I believe to be the truer identity of our generation, a generation which ranks social conscience and artistic expression over personal financial gain. I formed the YOUNG+IDLE collective as an outlet for artists and dreamers who share the same belief.
THE RESULT
The key aim of the organisation is use creativity to raise money and awareness for important social causes. To date we’re proud to have donated to 8 great charities.
We primarily do so in two ways, through art exhibitions and our non-profit clothing line. I produce all designs for the label and act as art director and producer for all shoots, as well managing the day to day, the manufacture & distribution, and our digital presence.
