We are excited to announce that TACO! is one of 11 organisations that have been awarded funding from Youth Music's Energiser Fund to enable a three-year creative programme for early years children and their families, in partnership with Better Children’s Centres Abbey Wood and Thamesmead.

BANG! SPLAT! WHOOSH! is an experimental sound studio, publishing-broadcasting house, and sculpture workshop, led by 2-4 year olds.

Underpinned by a partnership between artist-led organisation TACO!, and Better Children’s Centres Abbey Wood and Thamesmead the programme supports early-years children and artists to collaborate. We're thrilled that Jenny Pengilly will return to the children's centres as our lead artist in year one to build on the success of Static Studios, joined by the incredible Amy Leung as visiting artist.

Centring children as artists, and learning from their way of working, we believe they should have access to making high-quality, compelling artworks, showcased to a wider public.

BANG! SPLAT! WHOOSH!, made possible through the Energiser Fund provides valuable learning for our partnership’s organisational and creative practices, and for the artists, children and families with whom we work.



The project is funded by Youth Music’s Energiser Fund. With thanks to Arts Council England for making this funding possible.
