Who is it for?
Arts Award is for young people of all interests and abilities up to the age of 25.
Each Arts Award at the MAC is tailored to the needs of the young people taking part and can be adapted for a range of special education needs.
Arts Award is a powerful tool that assesses a young person's development and encourages independent learning, confidence building, and transferrable skills.
How it works
To achieve an Arts Award, young people complete challenges and take part in a range of arts activities, documenting their progress.
There are four levels starting at Entry Level 3 and progressing to Level 3, a Gold award which is worth 35 UCAS points.
