What's on now

Welcome to FUSEBOX!

Creative Youth is entering an exciting time in our 14-year history as we further evolve our year-round offer through a new creative space, FUSEBOX, in our beloved Kingston.

The space will operate in addition to FUSE International, and our other programmes of work. 

"I really admire what Creative Youth do, which is put their artists first."
