art-K was founded in 2000, to create a safe space where children can feel comfortable to explore their artistic skills. The art-K programme was created with a deep understanding of child development, child engagement, visual skills and artistic techniques, allowing the art-K teachers to create the safe environment by personalised the programme to children’s individual needs. Since deciding to expand art-K in 2016, art-K has grown to 50+ clubs, teaches 7000+ students per week (of which 1000 of our students are now adults), and employs over 80 permanent art teachers and 100s of art assistants. Our goal is to ensure that every child or adult passionate about art has the opportunity to be a part of an art-K club in their local area
