Anvil Arts is an Arts Awards supporter and Artsmark partner. This means we are able to help groups in completing their Arts Awards (but we do not run our own sessions). Our Community Engagement Manager is an Advisor, so can deliver individual sessions discussing how Arts organisations are run.

We are also able to support schools who are on their Artsmark journey with our partner offer.

Our Arts Award Supporter Offer Includes:

• Six hours of time from a trained and experienced member of our team – this can be used for delivering sessions directly, providing tours or talks at The Anvil, or helping with planning your own sessions
• Advice and support throughout your delivery of the Arts Award, from Discover to Silver levels
• Assisting with administration to the delivery of your Arts Award

Artsmark

• Support with writing your Statement of Commitment and Statement of Impact
• Advice on how to embed the Quality Principles

Running the Arts Award can help support your Artsmark status and can contribute to your cultural capital when being reviewed by Ofsted.

Get in touch with us if you are interested in learning more about the Arts Award. It can introduce Arts and culture to young people in a new and exciting way that does not necessarily involve performance. It also allows them to adapt projects in a way that suits them.

Artsmark

Artsmark is the only creative quality standard for schools and other education settings. It is accredited by Arts Council England and can support Ofsted inspections.
