Our programme includes workshops, artist residencies and collaborative projects, designed to support creative development, build confidence and open up new ways of thinking. We work closely with teachers and partners to shape activity that is relevant, engaging and responsive to each school community.
School Gallery Visits and Workshops
We welcome schools to both our galleries for visits to exhibitions and workshops facilitated by artists.
North Northumberland Creative Schools Cluster
We host termly meetings that are open to all school teachers and colleagues interested in working with cultural organisations that offer excellent creative learning opportunities for schools. The sessions aim to build partnerships between schools, artists, cultural organisations and opportunities and are supported by Northumberland County Council.
Working with schools as an Arts Award Supporter and Artsmark Partner Organisation
As an Artsmark Partner, we’re proud to be working in partnership with schools and settings on their Artsmark Award journey. By supporting Artsmark settings, we’re helping put the arts at the heart of education, inspiring young people to create, experience and participate in high quality arts and culture.
Berwick Arts Award Discover Trail
Berwick cultural partners have worked together to create a new Berwick Arts Award Discover Trail booklet, to support teachers and pupils to achieve their Arts Award Discover. The booklet can be used to collate pupil’s Arts Award evidence and has been beautifully illustrated by Berwick illustrator Katie Chappell.
Berwick Academy Partnership
We work in partnership with Berwick Academy to create opportunities for young people to engage with creativity in different ways. This includes an artist residency with Martha Ellis, working with students to explore creative practice through hands-on making, experimentation and developing their own ideas. Alongside this, our Young Film Programmers Club gives students an active role in shaping the cinema programme - selecting films, developing ideas and creating opportunities for their peers to experience film in new ways. Together, these projects support young people to build confidence, develop skills and see themselves as part of Berwick’s cultural life.
