British Art Show 9 Learning Programme
Arts Connect and the University of Wolverhampton are collaborating with artists and teachers from across the Black Country to create a series of exciting British Art Show 9 creative learning opportunities for all education stages. Our aim is that all young people will have the chance to experience British Art Show 9, explore contemporary arts practices and grow their creative talents and aspirations. Through our BAS 9 learning programme we are currently working with 11 West Midlands based artists, 36 teachers and supporting over 2500 young people to engage with British Art Show 9 and visual contemporary art.

Commission details: British Art Show 9 Artist Workshops
We want children and young people to have the experience of working with professional artists and exploring contemporary art as part of the BAS 9 learning programme. One way that we will be doing this is by working with artists and teachers to develop in-school practical workshops for 9 Black Country schools/education settings.
We are looking for visual contemporary artists/arts organisations to work with teachers and young people in either nursery/early years, primary school KS1/2 or secondary school KS3. We want to work with artists, arts educators and creative practitioners who are able to plan and deliver engaging half-day visual contemporary art workshops designed around one or both of the following themes in British Art Show 9:
- ‘How we live with and give voice to difference.’
- ‘Tactics for togetherness.’
