Young Arts provides exciting opportunities for children and young people to expand their horizons through their involvement in creative arts activities.

At The Arts Society Abingdon we have a very strong commitment to Young Arts and have supported,and still support,many art based projects

We support Clear Sky,the mental health children's charity,based in Little Wittenham.They offer a range of Play and Creative Art Therapy support services to children,their families and to schools.We also support DAMASCUS,the local charity that helps troubled teenagers. Recently we gave them £600 to make a mosaic in Drayton Village Hall.

Further Recent Art Projects that we have supported:

*  £200 to The Bridge,an Abingdon mental health charity for teenagers.

*  £300 to Rush Common Primary School,Abingdon,to help pay for an artist in residence to work with the children to make a "Welcome to Rush Common School" mosaic as part of their Golden Jubilee celebrations.

*  £100 to Abingdon Museum for Art and Craft materials for their children's art days. 

*  £600 to Carswell School,Abingdon,to make an Art Gallery to display their work and another donation to refurbish a dedicated room for art and craftwork.

*  £400 to Long Furlong school,Abingdon,to facilitate a visit by Quantum Theatre. This acted as a stimulus to initiate a cross-curricular project involving literacy,art and craftwork.

*  £300 to St. Nicholas School,Abingdon to facilitate a sustainable art project with bottle tops.

We fund all this with garden parties,talks,lunches,demonstrations and other fun events,inviting all our members and their friends and families. Please come and help us so that our vibrant Young Arts section can continue to serve our community while having lots of fun and laughter.
