Introduction

Artscope is an exciting project that uses the arts as a means of education and personal development. It aims to increase an awareness of the arts through energetic and interactive programmes nationwide.

Artscope activities incorporate many mediums and are appropriate for all levels of development. It is our policy to be as inclusive as possible, therefore we offer a wide variety of packages which can be adapted to suit individual needs and resources.

Programmes are of modular design and work well within daily timetables with workshops lasting from 45 minutes, right through to full day sessions. Under skilled guidance we offer relaxed and enjoyable experiences with emphasis on the increased awareness of the joys of creating.

Between the period September 1999 to August 2000 an estimated 25,000 children experienced Artscope workshops nationwide.

A a number of workshops have limited availability early booking is advisable.

This website aims to provide a comprehensive guide to Artscope packages however individual needs are catered for, please contact our office for further information.
