Children’s Art Week runs from 29 June – 19 July 2020 and is a UK-wide programme run by Engage, the National Association for Gallery Education.
This annual campaign encourages venues and schools to participate in activities that capture children’s imaginations and encourages creativity. Children’s Art Week creates an opportunity for children to engage with the arts – and your school can take part.
There are countless benefits for children and young people in working with artworks, artists and galleries, demonstrated through ground-breaking programmes run by Engage as well as many other organisations. Many schools use Children’s Art Week as a way to bring more arts activity into the school curriculum, whether by working with an artist, curating an exhibition of children’s work, or dedicating that week to a programme of arts activity.
In 2020, Children’s Art Week will take place online, at home and in schools across three weeks in June and July. Each week will focus on a special theme.
2020 themes
Week 1 (from 29 June): The Natural World
Week 2 (from 6 July): Connecting across generations
Week 3 (from 13 July): Literacy and creative writing
