What is Gold Arts Award?

Arts Award inspires young people to grow their arts and leadership talents. It's creative, valuable and accessible.

Gold Arts Award is the highest Arts Award level, at Level 3 on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF). Gold develops young people's creativity, communication, planning, evaluation, teamwork and leadership skills. The Award is also recognised on the UCAS Tariff.

Gold has been designed for young people aged 16-25 who have a high level of commitment, interest and involvement in an art form and who wish to extend their skills further as an arts practitioner in their own right.

What will achieving Gold do for me?

The creative industries are fast evolving, and more than ever employers are seeking candidates with demonstrable skills beyond qualifications.

Arts Award Gold is a two unit qualification, based around the creation of a portfolio of work. Unit 1 enables you to develop your arts practice, create links in the creative industries and work practically on your own artistic, creative and personal development. Unit 2 is focussed on your delivery of arts leadership through a project, supporting you to develop important planning, delivery and evaluative skills as well as key leadership skills.

You can work in any art form that you choose and you can create your portfolio in any medium. The portfolio that you create is then yours to keep and will be an invaluable resource for you to use in the future, for example for job interviews or course applications.

How will it work?

To do a Gold Arts Award you must be committed to working independently and taking responsibility for your own work. This programme will allow you time and space to work, whilst ensuring that you have the support you need to complete the Award. We won't be offering any arts activities in session as part of the programme, but we can guide you towards suitable opportunities.

We'll be offering a series of sessions where you will get a chance to check in, set targets, source opportunities, look at and organise your portfolio work, brainstorm ideas and gain peer support. You'll need to be committed to attending as many support sessions as possible and sticking to deadlines and targets. Apart from that, you'll have the freedom to choose your journey and shape your own development.
