Arts Award

Are you creative? Interested in 'The Arts'? Then Arts Award could be for you.

Arts Award
Arts Award

Arts Award is a national qualification that recognises how young people develop as artists, arts practitioners and arts leaders. Young people aged between 11-25 can achieve Arts Awards at levels 1, 2 and 3 on the national qualifications framework.

One of the unique aspects of the Arts Award is its flexibility 

Whatever art form you're interested in, wherever you are, whatever your individual circumstances or ability, the Arts Award can fit your needs. There are no entry requirements, no time-limit on completing the award and no hard rules on how you present your work.

The Arts Award focuses on the individual young person and their development. It's flexible so can fit around your other commitments like school and college, or a busy social life.

Musicians... artists... film makers... rappers... singers... dancers... photographers... DJs and many more, it is open to all!

Singer  Arty girl  So far, young people have achieved Arts Awards in acting, architecture, circus arts, composing, dance, DJ-ing, exhibition curating, fashion, film, graffiti art, hip hop, journalism, multi-media design, painting, poetry, radio, sculpture, technical theatre... and more, you just need to show how you can develop your creativity in your chosen area.

Achieving an Arts Award says a lot about a person. It shows your commitment to your art form(s), your interest in developing your skills and understanding, your communication, planning and evaluation skills. It demonstrates skills in leadership as well as your own arts practice.

These skills are what colleges, universities and employers are looking for, and many recognise the Arts Award as an additional qualification. The Arts Award team are currently preparing an application to UCAS to attach points to the Gold Award.

You can do Arts Award in many places across North Yorkshire.  To find out more contact matt.burrows@northyorks.gov.uk  or ring 01609 535765.
