Childrens Art Week will take place online, at home and in schools across three weeks from 29 June 19 July 2020. Each week will focus on a special theme.
Our 2020 themes are
Week 1 (from 29 June): The Natural World
Week 2 (from 6 July): Connecting across generations
Week 3 (from 13 July): Literacy and creative writing
Schools, galleries, museums and community groups are invited to plan and register visual arts activities for children and families. These activities will give children and young people, together with their teachers, parents and carers, the opportunity to take part in practical art activities with artists, makers and educators.
Registration will open at the end of May 2020.

6 x £750 grants are available for organisations to commission freelance gallery educators or artists in England, Scotland and Wales to produce or lead new activity during Childrens Art Week.
To apply organisations must be members of Engage.
