Arts Award motivates and celebrates young people’s artistic achievements.

Open to anyone up to the age of 25, Arts Award embraces all interests and backgrounds. Young people can achieve an award through any arts, media or cultural activity, developing knowledge and understanding of their chosen art forms. Arts Award’s unique qualifications support young people to develop as artists and develop their creativity, leadership and communication skills.

We run a varied programme of events for children and young people in music and visual arts, working with them in schools, the community and through our in-house groups.
