Artsmark Phone Consultation
YSP’s Formal Learning Programmer is available for an initial phone consultation to discuss how our offer for teachers and schools can align with both your school development plan and Artsmark statement of commitment, plus highlight how potential areas of our collection can support your curriculum design. Please email Formal Learning Programmer,
Kathryn Brame, to schedule your consultation.
Facilitated Activities
We have a wide programme of events and artist led-workshops that give children and young people inspiration and insight into the arts through specialist art skills, exclusive access to curators and resident artists, alongside self-guided opportunities to enrich your Artsmark journey. We specialise in opportunities for children and young people to respond creatively, share ideas and understanding.
