Grow your talents, explore the arts, be a creative leader and get a qualification!

You can do an Arts Award in any area of the arts, from fashion to poetry, rapping to dancing, sculpture to film and more. You can be the creator or performer of your own work or develop your skills in essential roles like marketing or stage management.

And, you can work towards Arts Award in an arts centre, school, college, theatre or youth club – wherever you take part in the arts. Maybe your organisation is running Arts Award already - ask your arts leader or teacher.

Throughout your Arts Award you will create a portfolio or arts log that shows off your creativity and gives you a recognised qualification awarded by leading exam board Trinity College London.
