Artsmark is changing
Artsmark is changing. This support page is for those schools currently on an Artsmark journey. Registrations are paused from September 2026 ahead of the new Artsmark Award launch in Spring 2027. Find out more.
Overview of support
For those currently working towards an Artsmark award, this page signposts you to our support, resources, guidance and training to help you on your journey.
Artsmark supports teachers to evaluate their school’s current arts and cultural provision and builds their confidence in delivering a more creative curriculum with long-lasting impact. The flexible Artsmark process can fit around planning cycles and there’s only two documents to submit.
Goldsmiths, University of London, is our national delivery partner. Renowned for its research and teaching and celebrated world-wide as a vibrant hub for creativity, arts and culture, Goldsmiths’ excellent learning programme offers a mixture of online and in-person sessions, networking and peer mentoring opportunities, as well as the core Artsmark development training.
