The National Gallery Youth Council is a group of dynamic young creatives aged 12 to 25 years-old whose role is to represent and advocate for younger voices. Recruited annually from all over Australia, the group meets every four weeks and works with Gallery curators, artists and staff to develop and deliver programs for their peers — on site, online and on tour.
