What is the Artsmark Award?
Artsmark recognises schools’ exceptional commitment to creativity with the Artsmark Award - the only award for arts and cultural provision in England. Artsmark is accredited by Arts Council England.
About the Artsmark journey
To complete an Artsmark journey, schools need to attend Artsmark Development training delivered by Goldsmiths, University of London, and submit two documents:
a Statement of Commitment that outlines your goals and ambitions for your Artsmark journey
a Statement of Impact that reflects and evaluates the journey you’ve been on
How do schools get an Artsmark Award?
How do schools get an Artsmark Award?
Schools receive their award at the end of their Artsmark journey.
Every school’s Statement of Commitment and Statement of Impact is evaluated by our expert team of Artsmark Assessors - learn more about them below.
Our Assessors look at:
how far your school’s arts and cultural provision has progressed
the impact of Artsmark on your school
the objectives and goals you’ve achieved (not ones that are yet to be completed)
Based on this assessment, schools receive one of three Artsmark levels: Silver, Gold or Platinum. Schools receive their award no later than the end of the next academic term after submitting the Statement of Impact.
