The Prince’s Foundation for Children & the Arts is an educational charity committed to helping children experience the arts in a high quality and sustained way.
Thousands of children leave school having never set foot into an art gallery, watched a performance in a theatre or listen to an orchestra play live. Children & the Arts works to redress this balance and encourage in children a long term engagement with the arts.
The arts have the power to transform children’s lives and have a proven positive impact on their development; resulting in;
-
Unlocking talent
-
Raising aspirations
-
Improving self-esteem and confidence
-
Developing intellectual, social and emotional skills
-
Developing physical skills
-
Making children feel comfortable in cultural venues
-
Encouraging creativity, experimentation and fun
-
Changing behaviour and attitudes to learning
Through our work children learn that cultural venues are welcoming, accessible and exciting places to be.
