Our Youth Programme
Thanks to generous donations from our students and funding from our sponsors Taylor Money and St Ives Rotary, we are able to provide subsidised art classes for local young people.
SUNDAY ART CLUB 7-10 years
For budding young artists aged 7-10, the workshops run from 10am-12pm on monthly Sundays in term time. This is an art club like no other, where children get to work on easels and use the same high-quality materials as those on our adult courses. They are taught by experienced artist tutors and start to take their first steps as young artists. A brilliant introduction to the world of making art!
We offer Free scholarship places on this project for families on low income.
PORTHMEOR ART COLLECTIVE 11-16 years
This is our art project for young people aged 11-16 that want to have a creative outlet outside of school. Delivered by contemporary artists, these workshops give young people access to those working in the exciting contemporary art scene and giving them the tools to develop their artistic talents.
The workshops are designed to help young people discover new mediums, new ways of working and expand their comfort zones. They give them the chance to create art in a working art studio with exceptional materials and tuition, with a like-minded group of young artists.
We offer Free scholarship places on this project for families on low income.

Inclusion Projects
We continue to deliver Inclusion projects for young people at-risk. Taylor Money family owned wealth management business in Falmouth are sponsoring our Youth programme as they believe in supporting local young people. The Duchy Health Charity are also funding us in 2026, to deliver two specific arts and wellbeing projects in Truro secondary schools.
In 2026 we are running the following Inclusion projects:
+ Studio Doors for Nine Maidens. This is an arts inclusion project that welcomes vulnerable children and young people into cultural spaces that can feel out of reach. Across three months, two Nine Maidens groups of excluded young people took part in artist-led making activities in our studios, and first-time visits to major cultural venues – building confidence, creative skills, and a sense of belonging in professional arts environments.
+ Artist Led Workshops for Pool Academy. The Create Room project enables selected pupils to experience art in a different way to usual school lessons and provides arts for wellbeing support. The group will work with Leach Pottery and visit Tate St Ives as part of the project. Arts Award will be embedded into this project so young people can achieve a Bronze Arts Award.
+ Artist Led Workshops for Richard Lander and Penair. The Duchy Health Charity are funding an expansion of our Create Room project, which first started at Pool Academy. This project acts as time-out in the school day for creativity. We are working in partnership with the CHAOS Charity who are referring young people who are facing challenges and would benefit from arts for wellbeing. The end of the project culminates in a celebration of achievement, in which parents are invited to attend an exhibition of the young people’s work. This project is due to run again at Penair School in Autumn term.
+ Artist Led Workshops for CHES. This project is for the Community and Hospital Education Service. These young people are too ill to go to school and attend the CHES part-time. This is an artist-led project to support young people in their submission of GCSE Art and gives them new encounters in the arts to help them feel more motivated.
CULTURE CAMP
St Ives School of Painting’s Culture Camp is a youth initiative established in 2017. It aims to open the doors of St Ives’ cultural institutions to young people otherwise without access. Led by artists, they take part in a set of workshops, gallery visits and talks, opening their eyes to the possibilities of art. Bronze Arts Award is embedded in the project which gives young people a nationally recognised qualification.
From 2019, funding from Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Trust enabled us to turn Culture Camp into an inclusion project. This meant we could start working with different young people who had many barriers. This is due to being excluded from school, at-risk, in ill health and not in mainstream education, living in poverty and facing other challenges like being young carers. We work in ongoing partnership with the Community and Hospital Education Service, Nine Maidens and young people from the CLEAR Trauma charity.
