A bit about us
The Children’s Art School is based in West Yorkshire. It has art spaces in both Holmfirth and Huddersfield town centre. We offer regular art clubs for children and young people from 2-18 yrs.
We deliver Our Biennale, the Kirklees Arts Festival for children and young people for Evoke, Kirklees cultural education partnership.
We work with many local partners to offer children and young people exciting creative opportunities: Huddersfield Literature Festival, Holmfirth Arts Festival, Woven in Kirklees, Kirklees Youth Alliance, Sharing Memories, Kirklees Libraries, Penistone Line Partnership.
We put children’s creativity at the heart of everything we do.
MakerWorld
MakerWorld is in the Piazza Centre, Huddersfield and is part of Kirklees Council’s Temporary Contemporary initiative. The Piazza units will eventually be knocked down to make way for Kirklees Council’s regeneration plans. In the meantime we are delivering hands-on workshops and projects from the space bringing families into the area that will become Huddersfield’s ‘Cultural Heart’.
Intergalactic Space Jungle - Impact Report
Intergalactic Space Jungle was a MakerWorld project delivered over the 2023 summer holidays featuring the amazing Celestial Sound Cloud. Young people and their families were invited to take part in a series of space-themed sculpture, light and sound workshops, culminating in a final exhibition at the Piazza Centre in Huddersfield.
Our Biennale
Our Biennale is a festival of arts and culture made with children and young people in Kirklees.
Produced by the Kirklees Local Cultural Education Partnership, Evoke, Our Biennale is led by The Children’s Art School. Partners from Evoke collaborate with young people, artists, cultural organisations, and teachers in Kirklees to co-create this amazing festival for the whole community.
