Arts Awards

Calling all teachers, parents and home schoolers.

We are pleased to be sharing our Discover Arts Award offers. 

Art is a very wide heading for creativity. Art can cover so many different formats – so there is something for everyone!

What are Arts Awards?

Arts Awards are interactive awards for young people helping them develop their arts and leadership skills. There are 5 levels and we are offering the Discover level here. When it is complete you can earn an official Arts Award certificate from Trinity College, London. For more information about the other levels look at the main Arts Award website here.

Self Led; Arts Award – Discover

Self led Discover Arts Awards are completed independently of a Museum workshop. Visit the museum for inspiration and to explore art throughout our galleries and complete the logbook with your own ideas and art.  Then submit it to us for moderation and an official Trinity College certificate – see here for more information, downloadable log book and submission information.

Self Led arts Awards are suitable for individual children, families, and schools.

Our self led Discover Arts Award is free to complete – but if you’d like an official Trinity College Certificate there is a small charge to cover moderation and certificate costs.  Teachers please feel free to share this with your parents and children.
