Emrys Green Voice Team Bronze Silver Gold

We've just launched an exciting new page on Arts Award Voice where you can find videos of Arts Award achievers talking about their Arts Award portfolios.

Planning projects and events can be time consuming, challenging and very rewarding too. The key is to learn from the past, celebrate the successes and take the 'little wins' when you can.

Physical comedy, demonstrating how you can laugh hard with no words uttered. A great expression of emotion and the versatility of custard.

2015 has been quite a year. 2016 is shaping up to be even more of a year for the arts world and for Arts Award as it continues it's celebrations of 10 years, and we embark on even greater plans for supporting you through Gold Arts Award.

We're approaching the time when many students have left school or university, who may not have yet made plans or found a job. What do they do?

A new blog by Arts Award Youth Network Project Manager, Emrys Green, sharing insights and ideas from his experience of doing and advising on Arts Award. Informal ramblings designed to give some useful information about how you can achieve your own Gold Arts Award.

If you read my first post, then you'll known that I have the privilege of managing the Arts Award Youth Network. We run events and activities to support young people interested in the arts and Arts Award.

OK so I will give you a run down of my arts story, but the prevailing point I want to make is that everybody is unique. You will have your own experiences, your own opportunities, and can master your own arts story.

Defining popular culture is an interesting feat. Here's my interpretation and how it helps you achieve Gold.

Literature isn't always the first art form that comes to mind for many. But wow is that a mistake. I personally enjoy reading a good book - it's just finding the time. It can certainly be more fulfilling than watching the film equivalent.

I consider film to be one of the most useful arts mediums that can be used by any artist. Why?

Through December Arts Award Voice has been running a theme selected by the Ikon Youth Programme, hidden cities. When I was in conversations with them over 2 months ago (wow time has flown) there were all sorts of ideas for a theme, food art being one. But this post isn't about what could have been, it's about what is.
