Arts Council Collection National Saturday Clubs Mini Master Class Series.
The Arts Council Collection works in partnership with National Saturday Club to give young people across the country greater access to art, artists, galleries and arts professionals. The National Saturday Club programme was developed in 2009 by founders Sir John Sorrell and Lady Frances Sorrell, with a vision to create regular opportunities for young people to be inspired by and develop within the creative industries.
The Arts Council Collection offers National Saturday Club tutors the opportunity to access works from the Collection, to work with partner galleries to put together professional development master classes in curating and to work with exhibiting artists. It also provides support and advice on how to use the Arts Council Collection website as a resource in the classroom using materials from past, current and upcoming exhibitions.
Our latest event saw students from Nottingham Trent University, University of Leeds and Manchester Metropolitan University National Saturday Clubs visit Yorkshire Sculpture Park to explore themes of protest in the Arts Council Collection exhibition, Revolt & Revolutions.
Revolt & Revolutions, curated by Dr Helen Pheby, presents works by artists who seek to make a difference to the world we live in whether through examples of protest or by suggestions of a new world order. The ethos of the exhibition harks back to the very beginning of the Arts Council Collection in 1946 and the aim to ensure everyone in the country had access to art.
