Today (Friday 2 November), The Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation is proud to announce a series of grants to support arts education across the UK.
The Foundation believes that in order to retain vibrancy in the arts, it is imperative for young artists of all backgrounds and abilities to be nurtured and encouraged. Support of these projects is now critical following the government’s proposals to introduce the English Baccalaureate Certificate which leaves the arts out of the ‘five pillars’ of core subjects that students must study.
Madeleine Lloyd Webber, Foundation Trustee, says: “The Foundation is delighted to be able to support such a diverse range of arts education initiatives as we feel it is hugely important to encourage the next generation of artistic talent. The UK is currently a global leader in the arts, and by investing in programmes to train young artists, we hope our country can continue to be a creative force.”
Arts education initiatives to receive funding include:
