I am pleased to have recently registered the SLG as an Arts Award Supporter where we offer gallery visits, workshops and expertise to children and young people already working towards their Arts Award with a registered Arts Award Centre. All of our activities for children and young people are free, including:
- Visits to an art exhibition this could support for example, Bronze & Silver – arts review units;
- Artist led workshops for schools with a practical element. This could support for example, Discover – find out unit, Explore – create unit, or Bronze – take part in an arts activity unit;
- Art Assassins for young people aged 14-20 on Tuesday evenings. This could support for example, Bronze – arts skills share unit, Silver – arts research & arts leadership units, or Gold – arts practice unit;
- REcreative website this could support for example, Silver – arts review & arts research units.
We are also thinking about piloting Arts Award Discover in a day with several classes from a local primary school, as well as exploring the idea of offering Arts Award Silver or Gold as part of our forthcoming traineeships, as I am a registered Arts Award Adviser.
