Why choose Arts Award?

​

Arts Award takes children and young people on a creative journey, exploring the arts world, discovering their potential as artists, developing leadership skills – and gaining a recognised qualification along the way. 

​​

The Arts Award guidelines are flexible enough to suit almost any form of creative practice, so it really is lead by your own passion and tailored to your own creativity.

​

Our studios at The Ruze are perfectly suited to delivering Arts Awards, with a state-of-the-art recording studio and venue performance space all available to use as part of their projects, and a range of instruments available on site for all to use.

It is a great way to develop transferable skills in creativity and communication, problem-solving, reflective thinking, and confidence.
