About Us
Empowering children and young people through arts and culture
Artswork has empowered children and young people through arts and culture for the last 30 years. A national voice celebrating the arts, creativity and cultural development for, with and by young people, we are committed to improving their life chances and making a difference.
At Artswork we strive to make the arts and creativity available to absolutely everyone. We aim to break through barriers and develop new ways for people to discover the success, empowerment and sheer joy that the arts and creativity can bring to classrooms, communities and careers.

What We Do
Empowering children and young people through arts and culture
Our work with schools
We're working to increase arts and cultural education, in a curriculum frequently squeezed of its creativity. We provide support to teachers working to champion the vital role of the arts in the lives of children and young people.
Our work with arts and cultural sectors
Access to arts, culture and heritage should be a right, not a privilege. That’s why we work with organisations to help increase their engagement with children and young people across the country.
Our work with children and young people
We support, develop and deliver projects and programmes which empower children and young people through the arts, helping them to discover passions, talents and even careers
Our work with youth justice settings
We work with youth justice settings, using arts, culture and heritage as a way to engage young people who have become disengaged with traditional schooling and education.
Our work with local authorities
Connecting with Local Authorities means we are able to be proactive on a local level, whilst still seeing the wider picture.
Our work with employers
We work with employers in the creative and cultural sector to deliver employability projects and apprenticeships, providing young people with the opportunity to gain practical experience and build their skills and confidence while they learn on the job.
