New Wave Creatives - December session

New Wave Creatives hold their December session at Jelly on Thursday 3 December, from 5:30pm to 7:30pm. It's a monthly meet-up for emerging artists and creatives aged 18–28, and the December one is free to attend.

The group is open to anyone in that age bracket who's working in the arts — whether you're still studying, a recent graduate, or completely self-taught. The sessions are set up as a space to experiment, collaborate and grow, and each one has its own theme announced beforehand. If you're coming along, you'll get mentoring support from Jelly, the charity that runs the whole thing.

That's a good place to start on the context: Jelly has been part of Reading's cultural life since 1993, and they describe themselves as an energetic charity championing the creative arts, working to get art into unexpected places and creating opportunities for people to look on and join in. New Wave Creatives is one of those opportunities, and they run it with a strong focus on inclusivity, safety, respect, confidentiality and consent. If you're new to the group and feeling a bit unsure, they'll help you get settled, which includes arranging a visit to the space before the session starts.

It runs from 5:30pm to 7:30pm on Thursday 3 December at Jelly, on the first floor of the Broad Street Mall, Reading RG1 7QE. Attendance is free.
