28 June – 18 July 2021
Keep a close eye on Children’s Art Week with Engage: https://engage.org/happenings/childrens-art-week/ - they’re still deciding activities for 2021, but there might be an opportunity to get involved.
Children’s Art Week is a UK-wide programme run by Engage, the National Association for Gallery Education.
In 2020, Children’s Art Week took place online, at home and in schools across three weeks in June and July. Each week focused on a particular theme.
Our 2020 themes were:
Week 1 (from 29 June):
The Natural World
Week 2 (from 6 July): Connecting across
generations
Week 3 (from 13 July): Literacy and
creative writing

Schools, galleries, museums and community groups were invited to plan and register visual arts activities for children and families. These activities gave children and young people and their teachers, parents, and carers the opportunity to participate in practical art activities with artists, makers, and educators.
This past year has highlighted how essential creativity and the visual arts are for learning, connecting and wellbeing. While our venues, cultural organisations, and some buildings may be closed, engaging in the visual arts is more important than ever.
