Arts Award is a passionate supporter of the arts, cultural and creative sectors, and we work closely with leading organisations to ensure that young people have the opportunity to access to the very best arts education available, alongside the chance to gain a nationally recognised qualification.
Our partners are organisations with a national or international reach who are committed to the values and ethos of Arts Award, and are able to undertake shared delivery and promotional activity with Arts Award. If you are a arts or cultural organisation with a large reach and established programmes, and are interested in becoming an Arts Award partner please contact us. If you work regionally or at a smaller scale our Arts Award Supporter programme is a great opportunity to explore.
