Arts Award Supporter
People Express are delighted to announce its new Arts Award Supporter offer.
Arts Award is a nationally recognised qualification that supports young people from 5 to 25 to develop as artists and arts leaders. We are an Arts Award Delivery Centre offering all five levels of the Award.
Arts Award is managed by Trinity College London in association with Arts Council England and is offered at five levels – Discover, Explore, Bronze, Silver and Gold.
