About Arts Award
Young people working towards Arts Award explore the work of artists and the world of the arts. Culture Street is full of free online resources to support that research in our Art, Stage, Books, Museums and What is sections. Young people working towards Arts Award make new work as part of a workshop. Culture Street has lots of online workshops to help here as well. Some levels of Arts award include young people reviewing arts events. CultureStreet has a Review section so that you can see other young people reviewing the arts.

Arts Award Discover Three Ways
Discover is all about taking part in arts activities and experiencing artists and their work. It’s all about seeing, trying, doing and enjoying new things. These three films showcase three different ways you can deliver Discover and how it can be adapted to suit your situation. Commissioned by Arts Award the settings are Maidstone Museum who deliver Discover in a day, The National Coal Mining museum who collaborate with their local Music Hub for an annual event and MK Gallery who run a rolling prgramme with artists. One of these examples of good practice will inspire.
Arts Award in Museum Settings
Here are three more examples of how Museums are delivering Arts Award in their venues. Arts Award Discover at Peterborough Museum, Arts Award Explore at Lancashire Infantry Museum and the Museum of Lancashire and Bronze Arts Award at the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich. These films were commissioned by arts award to showcase good practice in Arts Award delivery.
