Art In Schools

'Great art for all children, all the time.'

“The programme allows us to get high quality pieces of art in front of students on a daily basis. The art is always there to stimulate their cultural awareness of the world around us.”

Tony Roe, Headteacher – Barking Abbey School, Barking & Dagenham

“Very few of our pupils will ever visit London and its art galleries. Now the art comes to us. It’s brilliant.”

Fiona Kite, Headteacher – Henry Tudor Schools, Pembroke

“We’re using the images and stories in school assembly and tutor groups to stimulate discussion and help our pupils grow.”

Simon Goodwin, Headteacher - South Wirral High School, Merseyside

creating lasting impressions

Art In Schools is an art education charity with a difference. We increase access to art for children and young people through the power of technology. This allows us to display the great art of the nation and of the world – all day and every day – in schools throughout the UK. And we invite children to make their own art inspired by iconic works – the very best in human creativity.

Art In Schools intends to transform art education by leaping over the traditional hurdles of poor funding and the inaccessibility of museums. How? It’s simple. We bring the museum to the kids.

“Art In Schools will allow museums to share the nation’s art with so many more young people than ever before. It’s an ambitious programme deserving of broad support from the cultural establishment.”

Sir Charles Saumarez Smith – former Chief Executive of the Royal Academy, and Director of the National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery
