What is the Arts Award?
Arts Award is a range of unique qualifications that supports anyone aged up to 25 to grow as artists and arts leaders, inspiring them to connect with and take part in the wider arts world through taking challenges in an art form – here at Lees Brook we currently offer Arts Award to Music students ranging from Bronze-Gold.
To grow as artists and arts leaders, inspiring them to connect with and take part in the wider arts world through taking challenges in an art form:
Through progressing through the five levels, young people get to:
- Discover the enjoyment of creating and participating in arts activities
- Experience arts events
- Develop creative and communication skills that are essential for success in 21st century life
- Explore the work of artists and craftspeople and gain insights into the professional arts world
- Gain experience and knowledge to help progress into further education and employment
Find out more about the impact of Arts Award on young people.
There are no entry requirements, no time limit for completing the award, and no set rules on how to present final work and this may be presented in a rich source of ways through video blogs, creating a website or even a presentation or a combination of these.
