The Arts Pledge is a not-for-profit social enterprise committed to securing every child’s right to meaningful, high-quality arts and cultural experiences.

We work with schools, trusts, artists, cultural organisations, and communities to embed sustainable, creative practice that inspires learning, strengthens wellbeing, and expands opportunity.

Membership is open to:

• Primary and secondary schools, colleges and education institutions
• Multi-academy trusts
• Cultural organisations
• Artists and creative practitioners
• Employers connected to the creative industries

If you are committed to improving access to high-quality arts and cultural education, we would love to hear from you.

An Arts Pledge is a collective commitment to strengthening arts and cultural learning within your setting.

Each pledge is:

• Locally shaped
• Evidence-informed
• Aligned with your existing priorities
• Designed for long-term cultural change
• It is not a one-off award or short-term initiative — it is a sustainable approach to growth and impact.

Membership provides:

Strategic & Practical Support

• Diagnostic tools for planning and evaluation
• Support from a regional Arts Pledge Specialist
• Curriculum development guidance
• Creative careers pathways support

Professional Networks

• School-to-school collaboration
• Peer inquiry and shared practice
• Forums and professional networks

Partnerships & Opportunities

• Connections with artists and cultural organisations
• Research and development opportunities
• Regional and national celebrations, including awards

The Arts Pledge is:

• Locally shaped but nationally connected
• Focused on long-term cultural change
• Evidence-informed but practice-led
• Built on collaboration between schools, artists, and communities

We prioritise sustainable systems rather than short-term projects.

Getting started is simple:

1. Contact us via email.
2. Arrange an initial conversation to explore your priorities and strengths.
3. Work with a regional specialist to shape your personalised Arts Pledge.

From there, you join a growing national network committed to strengthening arts and cultural education.

Yes, there is an annual membership fee, always kept as low as possible. Membership fees support the strategic guidance, networks, research, and partnership opportunities provided through The Arts Pledge. Profits will be reinvested to support children, young people and communities in their work. Please contact us for current membership details and pricing.

Both.
The Arts Pledge is nationally connected but delivered through regional specialists and partnerships. This ensures your pledge is rooted in your local identity and community while benefiting from national networks and shared expertise.

We are committed to closing enrichment and entitlement gaps.
By working collaboratively with schools and communities, we help expand access to high-quality arts and cultural experiences — particularly where opportunity has historically been limited.
