Your donation to the 'Art Builders 2023' campaign will support Animate Arts CIC to inspire, support and offer art activities to every primary and special needs school in Kent and the UK
Over the past ten years we have witnessed a decline of creative activities in schools first-hand - and we want it to stop!
Following the massive success of Art Builders 2019, our big build art programme involving over 200 children and 8 lead schools, we now want to enable every primary and special need schools in Kent to programme an arts week – or day, giving all their young children an opportunity to get involved in the arts and be creative.
We believe that Art Days should be programmed as regularly as Sports Days!
To do this, we realised that as well as inspiring children in the classroom, we need to work with their teachers, too, to make dream happen. With your donation we will:
- provide FREE artist-led workshops on Art Builders Day 2023! We want to offer children and teachers across the UK, via online platforms, an opportunity to try workshops in crafting with artists, african storytelling and contemporary dance to live music.
- provide a bundle of artist-made resources for teachers, which offers support, ideas and inspiration to run art activities in schools. This includes the specially written 'The Little Book Of Inspiration' which will be gifted to every Art Builder school.
- enable the small, but mighty team who programme and bring together the activities for all schools each year.
