Artsmark
Celebration Week
10 - 14 November
Artsmark Celebration Week is back
This academic year’s Celebration Week took place from Monday 10 to Friday 14 November 2025.
During the week we shone a light on how Artsmark is transforming schools across the country, and celebrated the amazing creativity of children and young people. This year was all about connections.
- How does Artsmark connect you as a school?
- How does the arts connect you to parents, carers and your local community?
- What impact have your connections with arts and cultural organisations or freelancers had?
- How do you connect with other Artsmark schools?
Schools got involve in a number of ways - hosting a celebration event, a special assembly, a whole arts week or a day dedicated to creativity. We encouraged schools to invite their local MP or the media along to join in the celebrations!
Schools were able to invite us along via this form if they wanted a member of our team to visit one of their events - please do continue to invite us throughout the year, not just Celebration Week.
We provided resources to help schools and cultural organisations shout from the rooftops about the impact Artsmark has had on their pupils and school community.
Shout it from the rooftops!
We developed tools and resources to help schools shout about arts, culture and creativity in their school.
From social media cards, to press releases and template letters to invite local MPs to a #CelebrateArtsmark event.
Download our #CelebrateArtsmark social media cards to use of Facebook or Twitter.
Use our online form to tell us about your work and the impact of Artsmark on your school and pupils, and we’ll help to share your story with the world.
