I never normally get to watch orchestras. With these things you don't realise how awesome they are until you actually experience it!

I love it, you get to do any art, it's so good. We do animation, we do loads of stuff, it makes me feel astonished!

We need to raise £1million each year to continue our work. With no government funding, we rely on the generosity of individuals, trusts and companies to reach this target.
We hear from James Shenton from Octopus Investments about his own personal challenge for Children & the Arts, we hear how Face Britain is taking the UK schools by storm and an exciting announcement about our upcoming DanceQuest.
We have details of loads of arts events for children and families. Find out what's happening near you.
Find out about our new mass participation portraiture project launching in September and how you can become a record breaker.
Thousands of children leave school having never set foot in an art gallery, watched a performance in a theatre, or listened to an orchestra play; we aim to redress that balance.
Browse our hub of research, policy and editorials to get up to speed.
Our Catalyst programme works with professional artists and regional arts venues to deliver inspiring teacher training across 6 art forms.
