Our Youth Programme

YOUNG ARTISTS

We start working with children from the
age of 7 and love to build positive and lasting relationships from childhood through to teenage years and beyond – for life.

Inclusion ProjectsSt Ives School of Painting run inclusion projects to engage specific young people that would not normally be able to engage in our youth arts projects. These vary from cultural camps for targeted young people, to working onsite at secondary schools. We seek to reach out beyond the studio walls and welcome those who would otherwise be unable to access visual arts and culture.  Young People gain skills, confidence, improved aspiration and a Nationally recognised qualification: Bronze Arts Award.
