Arts Award Supporter

Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum is an Arts Awards supporter centre, offering advice and support for young people undertaking the award at all levels.  As well as the wonderful resource of the permanent collections and changing exhibitions, four members of staff are trained advisors and one is a moderator. In the past we have run an Arts Awards Summer School and in future we intend to offer arts awards more often and endeavour to embed the award fully into our work. We would be pleased to hear from any school, group or individual interested in working with us to offer Arts Awards to children and young people. 

MEANTIME

MEANTIME is an artist-run project-space housed in a small building on Oxford Passage behind The Brewery in Cheltenham. It operates as a cross-discipline arts platform for the production and presentation of experimental new work – engaging, discursive, collaborative, critical, subversive… See separate website for all the latest information, directions and up-to-date programme details. 

Artlift

Now in its second phase, Artlift sees artists working in GP surgeries across Gloucestershire, using creativity and the arts as an additional and complementary means to address ongoing medical conditions. Why not watch a short film about the project (approx 10 mins).
