KCRW
YOUNG CREATORS PROJECT
Started: 2022
- No longer active
- Created by our station
Station type: Radio
Calling all Young Creators! We’re looking at you — musicians, poets, storytellers and visual artists. KCRW wants to see and hear what you’ve got and spotlight the pieces that stand out most across our airwaves, socials, website, and *drumroll please* at KCRW’s Young Creators Showcase live in June!
Throughout the program, KCRW will also be hosting virtual Ask Me Anything events (AMAs) to put you in touch with established LA-based creators. Get your big questions answered by some great artists who know the creative scene like the back of their hands. And, if you submit a piece, you’ll be invited to attend our virtual Group Critiques to watch selected submissions receive critical feedback from LA’s top tastemakers.
