Artis ...pioneering creative learning

"Economies rise and fall on the ability to innovate. They are no longer built on the backbone of manufacturing. Today's economies are based on creativity, performance and teamwork - and these skills need to be developed at an early stage. That is what Artis is about."

Sir Michael Bichard (Wham) Artis Patron

Artis works with primary schools on an ongoing basis to provide an integrated, consistent, high quality performing arts education - with the core aim of stimulating and encouraging children's imaginative thinking and creativity. We recruit, train and support our own Artis Specialists, who are also professional performing artists, to deliver a weekly holistic performing arts curriculum that embraces music, drama and movement.

Our key objectives are to:

stimulate creative thinking

develop performing arts skills

increase confidence

improve listening

enhance communication skills

boost teamwork and collaboration

strengthen powers of self-expression
