Arts Education Partnerships South West
As a network of ten arts education partnerships across the south west we believe that all young people and their communities are entitled to a rich cultural life.
At the heart of our programmes is the will to inspire creative, artistic and cultural experiences for children and young people; we make school more interesting and help children find their creative voice.
Local knowledge makes national arts development programmes much more effective. We know the really high quality artists, we work in all the schools as well as out of school venues, and we’ve got good relationships with the right people in our local authorities.
The work we do impacts on Children and Young People Plans and Every Child Matters outcomes. We don’t limit ourselves to arts and education either; we work with social services teams, planning departments and culture and leisure services putting innovative creative arts into their education programmes too.
Our collective expertise, experience, knowledge and sheer enthusiasm for making a difference in young people’s lives through the arts is second to none.
