About
Join “what if”, a brand-new project inviting kids and teens to help shape the future of Barking Gecko Arts. Come along to a creative workshop, get stuck into hands-on making with a professional artist, and tell us what a day at the Festival is really like for you. There are no right or wrong answers — just your honest thoughts on creativity, art, and what events for young people should feel like. Your ideas will help launch our new Children and Young People Advisory Council, so what you say here could shape festivals, theatre productions and workshops for years to come. All you need to bring is yourself.

PRESENTED BY: Barking Gecko Arts
FACILITATED BY: Sophie Minissale

Travel to Creativity City! In this zine-making workshop with artist Sophie Minissale, young people aged 13–18 are invited to imagine themselves as the newly elected mayor of Creativity City. Through illustration, writing and collage, you'll design your own travel guide, deciding what the city looks like, what's worth seeing, and who runs it (and how). It's a playful way to share your real thoughts on creativity, access, and what you want the future of the arts and your Advisory Council to look like.
Stay tuned for announcements and view the exciting events coming to the 2026 AWESOME Festival here.
