We are delighted to announce that Live Art Local CIC, and our space in Fareham Shopping Centre have been given Arts Award centre status.  This means that we will soon be offering courses and other opportunities for children and young people to gain these nationally-recognised qualifications.  We are currently able to offer Arts Award Discover and Explore for Primary aged kids and above (although we can make exceptions), and Bronze and Silver Arts Award for older children and young people up to 25 years.  We will seek to offer opportunities for the Gold Arts Award in the future.

 

These opportunities will be within art and literature, however we are looking to working with Arts Award advisers in other artistic fields (music, theatre and dance) to expand this offer in the future.

 

What is Arts Award?

Arts Award is a qualification, moderated and awarded by Trinity College London.  Arts Award’s unique qualifications support children and young people to develop as artists and arts leaders.  The programme develops skills for success in 21st-century life including creativity, leadership, reflective thinking and communication skills. Young people also develop knowledge and understanding of their chosen art forms.
It is open to anyone aged 25 and under and embraces all interests and backgrounds.  Through Arts Award young people learn to work independently, helping them to prepare for further education and employment.
