Art Education for young creatives aged 7-16

Art 4 Youth Norwich offers a high-quality learning experience for children and young people aged 7 to 16.

Our Fine Arts programme is delivered by practising Norfolk artists and art educators in small groups of ten students. It combines the use of professional materials and techniques with the cultivation of artistic vision and confidence, while drawing inspiration mainly from local nature, and from Old Masters to contemporary artists.

Our aim is to expand access to often-overlooked art education within the local community, to better support children during their most important developmental years.

We provide a safe space and creative environment where they can express themselves, helping to improve their emotional, mental, physical, and overall well-being by reducing stress, boosting self-confidence, building resilience, and having a more positive mindset.
