What is Arts Award Supporter

Arts Award Supporters are arts and cultural organisations who offer events, activities and opportunities which help young people achieve Arts Awards. You can use them to enrich the arts experiences you offer or to support young people who want to explore art interests outside your expertise. 

                  

Check out Supporters and what they offer on our map [link to www.artsaward.org.uk/supportermap] and read about typical offers on our Supporter Spotlight [Link] page.
Supporters badge activities which they feel match the Arts Award criteria well, often using the Arts Award ‘a’ badge above - but that doesn’t mean that’s all they offer. Explore your Supporters by visiting their website, reading their programmes, making a visit or contacting them to ask what they can offer you. Many Supporters are keen to develop partnerships with Arts Award centres and will create programmes with you which embed Arts Award.
Many Supporters also promote specific opportunities on Arts Award Voice [link], our youth magazine, so do encourage your young people to take a look there.

How do I become a supporter?

Arts Award Supporter is a free scheme which helps organisations reach young people doing their Arts Award.

Organisations bearing the Arts Award Supporter badge offer activities, events, expertise or resources which help young people working towards their Arts Award.

You don’t have to provide free activities and your existing education programme is likely to link well with Arts Award. 

Being a Supporter helps you to develop links with young people, schools and youth groups. Find out more or sign up.
