A collaborative visual experience, collecting stories from young people across WA.
The Sketchbook Project is a collaborative and visual experience that provides an opportunity for young people to share their own personal stories and passions with the wider community across Western Australia.
For generations, sketchbooks have provided a space for the greatest works and stories of our time to grow. The Sketchbook Project invites young people across WA to share their personal stories, thoughts, artistry and passions by filling a small sketchbook.
This year, The Sketchbook Project Exhibition has been designed by guest artist Rosie McCutcheon.
This is a hybrid event, taking place in-person at the State Library of WA and online via the KickstART Festival website.

About the Youth Week WA KickstART Festival
Presented by Propel Youth Arts WA, the KickstART Festival has been the flagship event of Youth Week WA for 12 years running. KickstART offers over 60 free events - including workshops, talks, performances, mentorships, exhibitions, markets, and other special events - between 8 - 16 April, for young people aged 12-26.
Due to growing concerns about COVID-19 and the anticipated continued spread of Omicron across our communities in Boorloo (Perth) and WA, the Propel team has decided to pivot towards digital and hybrid formats for the delivery of the KickstART Festival this April.
The Youth Week WA KickstART Festival 2022 is presented by Propel Youth Arts WA and is funded by the Government of Western Australia through the Department of Communities and the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries. KickstART is also supported by Lotterywest, the City of Perth, the City of Stirling, the City of Fremantle, and the City of Vincent.
