Artist Megan Scott has been working weekly with the art group at Bradog Youth Service.
From February to April 2026, artist Megan Scott worked with 10-13 year old young people at Bradóg Youth Service. Taking place on Wednesday afternoons and reflecting the ethos of Bradog, Megan has designed and facilitated workshops led by the interests of the young people in the group. Take a look at the images below for a flavour of the young people’s work!
Bradóg Youth Service is a Community Based Organisation. They work with young people aged 8-24 in the North West Inner City Dublin within Dublin 7 and 1. The youth service is funded by The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (DCEDIY). The Youth Diversion Project is funded by The Department of Justice. Their work focuses on those young people in the community that are most in need of a service.
