What you will learn

Our Saturday Young Arts Club offers 5 weeks of fun, inspiring and challenging creative activity for young people aged 12-16yrs. Students will develop their artistic skills in art and design, fashion, animation, graphics, media and photography. We run sessions on Saturdays during the school term. Our college is an inclusive, creative and safe environment where our Youth Arts Club students will use the same facilities and resources that are available to our Further and Higher Education students. The club aims to inspire our young people to explore their creativity through producing and showcasing an art project. You can book a 5- week session each Term. Each person will be supported throughout the project by a friendly and experienced team of professional artists and producers. Our teachers are practicing professionals in their field and through this connection to the arts sector we hope our young people build a meaningful relationship between art as an expression of self and society, but also as a career option.
