Sp8 of the Art is committed to seeking out artistic potential in all children regardless of their background or culture.

More than this, however, Sp8 of the Art is passionate about promoting and encouraging the involvement of all children in art in its widest form.

Why is this important?

Participation in the arts has the power to transform the lives of children and has a proven positive impact on their development, resulting in:

• Unlocking talent
• Raising aspirations
• Increasing concentration
• Improving self esteem and confidence
• Developing intellectual, social and emotional skills
• Developing problem solving skills
• Building team work skills
• Creating imagination and encouraging creativity, experimentation and fun
• Increasing motivation to learn
• Providing fulfillment thought productivity
• Creating cultural and historical awareness
• Developing cognitive and fine motor skills
• Developing the child’s sense of uniqueness
• Giving affirmation through achievement
• Reducing stress

So, with all this in mind, we aim to provide them with the opportunities to experience a diverse range of artistic activities through a variety of means. We want to reach as many children as we can. With your help, we can reach more!

We believe our children are worth it! Do you?
