What else is on offer?
Saturday Club
Each year the V&A hosts a National Art & Design Saturday Club. This programme of workshops is for 14 – 16 year olds nominated by local schools and youth sector organisations. Over 13 weeks, members learn new creative skills, attend a masterclass with a high-profile artist or designer, and take part in an annual exhibition to celebrate their achievements.
Create Futures
We offer week long programmes, run in partnership with youth sector organisations, for young people aged 16 – 24 who have an interest in the creative industries and are not currently in education, employment or training. You can work with professional artists and designers, build a creative portfolio, develop creative skills, and gain career insights.
