Arts Award validates the artistic interests and activities of many children and young people. For some, it can actually be their first chance to think, acknowledge and work creatively. Artswork supports all five levels of Arts Award (Discover, Explore, Bronze, Silver and Gold), which can be used alongside arts and cultural activities and offered to any organisation or individual.
Working with our Arts Award Leadership Network (AALN), 2018/19 saw:
• Registration of 91 new Arts Award Centres • Training of 313 new Arts Award advisers • A 25% increase in Arts Award moderations • 9 organisations delivering Arts Award mentoring • The framework put together for a Youth Arts Leadership Network (YALN), with mentoring to begin in 2019/20

3. Employability and Neurodiversity
Working both with the young people on this programme and with the employers involved – drawing from both sides of the experience – has facilitated Artswork to consider the needs of neurodiverse young people. We are working with employers to build and signpost routes and pathways to diversify the workforce.
Working nationally with AchieveAbility
Working in partnership with Artswork, AchieveAbility ran two Roundtable sessions at the House of Commons in 2018/19, chaired by Barry Sheerman MP, with the aim of exploring barriers to employment in the creative and cultural industries, and options to address these – including the potential role for Creative and Digital Apprenticeships. Discussions explored challenges and current barriers that neurodiverse people face in seeking, securing and staying in employment.
Autism Hampshire
Artswork has also begun working with Autism Hampshire to develop a pilot employability initiative. This forms part of our existing Arts Council England-funded programme with Hampshire Chamber of Commerce – Creativity Plus. Arts Council England agreed on an extension of Creativity Plus, which will now run until the end of March 2020. This new chapter will see us working specifically with neurodiverse young people, in partnership with Autism Hampshire, via a third delivery of the Artistic Creative Enterprise Programme. It is hoped that lessons from this pilot will be used to inform how best to develop a new, longer-term programme with a diverse, inclusive offer for young people on the autistic spectrum.

Benefiting from global learning and connectivity internationally continues to be a keen interest of Artswork. Building from our 5-year relationship with the Singapore Arts Council and following Artswork CEO Jane Bryant’s visit to Chile in August 2017, we are continuing to grow our international work.
During 2018/19, we developed our relationship with the international Artists Residency Programme, ARThailand and its affiliated school, Prem Tinsulanonda International School, Chiang Mai. The result is that Artswork has now been invited to undertake a two-week residency in Thailand in early 2020.
