Why the Arts Pledge exists
The Arts Pledge exists to ensure that arts and cultural learning is recognised not as a privilege, but as an entitlement for every child and young person.
We work in partnership with schools, trusts, artists, and communities to embed high-quality, innovative, and sustainable arts education that enriches learning, strengthens identity and wellbeing, and expands opportunity.
We are a not-for-profit social enterprise dedicated to long-term, system-wide improvement in arts and cultural education through collaboration, research, and sustained professional support.

To champion and implement the value of arts and cultural education for individuals, organisations, and communities through strategic partnerships, evidence-informed practice, and long-term professional guidance.
Our Purpose
To be valuable to — and valued by — schools, communities, creative practitioners, and professional partners, working together to secure every child’s right to meaningful arts and cultural experiences.
