The AccessArt Offer to all schools 2026/27
We provide schools with a cost-effective way to access high-quality visual arts teaching and learning resources. Led by passionate art education experts, AccessArt creates trusted curriculum resources, teacher guidance and professional development for schools. We are backed by the British Educational Suppliers Association (BESA).
“AccessArt are thrilled to announce this partnership which will enable both organisations to connect communities, engage new audiences, and inspire learners of all ages and backgrounds.”
AccessArt Announces a Partnership with the Henry Moore Foundation
The Henry Moore Foundation and AccessArt are pleased to announce a partnership grounded in our shared belief in the importance of hands-on exploration as a catalyst for learning, and a commitment to inclusivity and opportunity for all in art education.
The partnership will centre around two main elements:
The Department for Education’s Enrichment Framework recognises that every child should have access to a broad range of high-quality enrichment experiences, with Arts and Culture identified as one of the five key areas every school should provide.
To help schools feel inspired, prepared and ready to deliver a high-quality enrichment offer in Arts & Culture, AccessArt has created the AccessArt Enrichment Offer.
AccessArt has launched an expert-led educator training programme aimed at empowering teachers and artists to feel more knowledgeable, inspired and confident in teaching art.
Teaching Art Well has been specially designed for educators in all settings who wish to build their understanding of what a rich visual arts education might look like, and how you can help provide it.
Our aim is that the modules deepen your AccessArt experience, and also help you feel more engaged with your own creativity. Teaching should be fun, and we want you to feel excited by the unique opportunities arts education offers for both teachers and learners.
Teaching Art Well consists of 8 modules which may be taken alone, as a series, or in any order.
Welcome to the Autumn Term CPD program of Zoom events aimed at supporting and connecting educators across a variety of educational settings. All our online CPD is free for AccessArt members.
Thursday 11th February 2027 4.00-4.45pm GMT (via Zoom) Free for AccessArt Members and Non-members.
Creative Wellbeing for the Festive Season
Tuesday 1st December 2026 4.00-4.45pm GMT (via Zoom) Free for AccessArt Members.
