Children & the Arts

“The arts provide multiple ways to experience, understand, and express the world and our relationship to it. They are one of the fundamental repositories of human wisdom. They educate the imagination and develop originality. They represent significant ways for students to discern, express, communicate, figure out, and understand the human universe.”

Charles Fowler, Strong Arts, Strong Schools

Why the arts?

Engaging with the arts enriches young peoples lives, nurtures creativity and improves self esteem and skills. Through our work children learn that cultural venues are welcoming, accessible and exciting places to visit. Other areas which arts access can impact upon include:

  • Unlocking talent  
  • Raising aspirations  
  • Improving confidence   
  • Developing intellectual, social and emotional skills   
  • Developing physical skills  
  • Changing behaviour and attitudes to learning    

The Prince’s Foundation for Children & the Arts hopes to give children the confidence and inspiration to kindle a life-long love of the arts.
