Arts Award
Get creative at home
We would like to invite our local community to get creative at home!
We are running a virtual programme of Arts Award Discover for children and young people in Eastleigh Borough.
Arts Award Discover is a Trinity College London qualification designed for ages 5 to 25 to explore the arts – it’s about trying things out, learning about creative people and sharing their findings with someone else. It’s really straightforward to do, whether you have experience in the arts or have decided to do something different at home!
What is an Arts Award Discover?
To achieve an Arts Award Discover, children and young people collect evidence of their experiences doing the following:
- Taking part in arts activities
- Researching artists or craftspeople and their work
- Sharing their arts discoveries
Who can participate
Arts Discover at Home is for children and young people aged 5 to 25.
As an Eastleigh Borough Council organisation we are especially keen to support children and young people in our home Borough, and our priority for sharing and submitting work will focus on Eastleigh Borough residents. However, we would encourage any young people to complete the project at home and we are sure that arts organisations in other areas would also be thrilled to share and submit work too!
