Young Arts
Alton and Petersfield Young Arts group
This local group has its own members aged 8 to 18 and functions similarly to an adult Decorative and Fine Arts Society with an active programme of visits and events. We support our local group who provide regular reports on their activities through our Newsletter.
Young Arts Projects - arts related activities for young people
- ADFAS Scholarships at Alton College
Since 2001 we have provided bursaries for two students undertaking the Arts Foundation Degree course at Alton College. Nationally, over 60% of societies support arts projects for young people so we are in good company. - Support for two local Primary Schools
Back in 2006 we helped fund an artist to work with Chawton Primary School on a project associated with the Passion for Pattern exhibition at Alton's Allen Gallery. We also combined with others to help Anstey Junior School with a Summer Arts Project devoted to sculpture and dance; an off-shoot of this was the online Alton Sculpture Trail compiled by staff from Hampshire Museums Service.
