Dear Arts Award advisers,

Wide Eyed Theatre is delighted to announce that we will be facilitating the new Arts Award forum in Kent 2013/ 14, supported by Artswork, SE Bridge. Working under the title of ‘Encourage: The Arts Award’ we are offering series of events designed to inspire, promote, boost and stimulate Arts Award activity throughout Kent.

We are excited to meet you all and share your varied experiences of delivering Arts Award through five fantastic skills share meetings throughout the county, open to all Arts Award centres and advisers as well as  those interested in training to be an Arts Award adviser.

We are currently looking for exciting arts venues for these events to happen in, so if you would like to be considered or have any suggestions please get in touch.

Our five meetings will be focused on specific areas of Arts Award, and will offer an open skills share by creative professionals as well as a forum of best practice. Each session will include:

A specific focus on Arts Award Bronze and Silver

A ‘play’ session with a chance to be creative and share delivery techniques through an activity lead by a creative professional. Each session is designed to teach new skills we can use practically in our delivery and give something back to you.

A chance to discuss your experiences and share best practice.

Visit varied arts venues to demonstrate how they can support your delivery of Arts Award

The opportunity to network between Arts Award  advisers, creative practitioners, and Arts Award centres.

Don’t worry if you miss a session, as everything will be documented on an online blog and the outcome of conversations will posted here to be read and continued after the events. On the blog we will provide practical advice to all those running and interested in Arts Award. The blog will also act as a database of advisers who are available to offer Arts Award to new or dormant centres.

We look forward to meeting you all.
