Our work with arts, culture and heritage organisations
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.
We provide training and resources, equipping you with the skills to build and enhance your programming and outreach for the under-25s.
The role of arts, heritage and cultural organisations is crucial – together it’s our job to ensure that the future is as vibrant, equal, and creative as possible, and there are many ways we can work towards this shared goal.
Professional Development and Consultancy Services
Delivering not just to Arts organisations but to businesses looking to include creativity as part of their business model and practice, strengthen your organisation’s skills and engagement with children and young people by booking training tailored to your needs or through our open courses. The programme has grown and expanded over the years and we now deliver all our courses online.

Connecting with Culture
The quick, easy way for schools to connect with arts and cultural organisations
Across the South East region, teachers face barriers looking for and providing arts and cultural activities for pupils.
Working primarily as a search engine, connectingwithculture.com has been created by Artswork as a simple way for organisations that work with children and young people to connect with arts and culture on their doorstep. Whether you’re a teacher, youth worker, youth justice team, lecturer, youth or education service, this is the best place for you to search, connect with, and review arts & cultural organisations across the South East. You can even add your own organisation to the site to share details of your offer.
