Arts Award
The Arts Award is a national qualification
which supports young people to develop as artists and arts leaders.
Young people aged 11-25 of all abilities and interests can gain
their awards through any art form. Taking part in an
Arts Award develops young people’s creative and personal skills for
further education or employment
The scheme has been likened to an arts
equivalent of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award programme in that it
recognises personal development as much as final achievements.
“Achieving an Arts Award says a lot about a
person. It tells you about their commitment to their arts activity,
but also about their ability to develop their skills and
understanding, and to lead activities within their own
community.”
The Arts Award is run by Arts Council
England and Trinity Guildhall, supported by Canon (UK). For
