Announcing Sable Radio’s new commission

Journal 16 Feb 2022

The Tetley is excited to present a new commission by Sable Radio.

Sable Radio will launch a new studio space for young people on The Tetley’s second floor.

This new space will provide tools and technology for young people to be creative and experiment with music, sound and visual art.

Focusing on self expression, identity exploration and collaboration, this new space aims to address increasing barriers to creative practices, particularly digital practices, that many young people face.
