We work with schools across Kent to create brilliant, memorable experiences for students (and teachers).

We offer lots of great performances, workshops and events for at Gulbenkian and we can help tailor a visit to your needs.  Many of our shows have discounts for schools and for every 10 tickets purchased, we offer a free teacher/adult ticket. Find out more about visiting as a school group.

We work with visiting companies and funding partners to develop projects for schools, including workshops sessions with professional artists and projects to get your students creating.

Gulbenkian is an Artsmark partner and Arts Award supporter.

Don’t forget that there are a wide range of creative opportunities for young people aged 5 – 25 available through ART31. There are also Creative Career focussed events we run throughout the year.

ART31

ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
