Artburst is a not-for-profit organisation set up in 2006 that has won local and national awards. Artburst sessions increase confidence, communication skills and pride in creative achievements for children and families committed to ensuring the arts are accessible to all.
Artburst delivers workshops for schools, children’s centres, community centres and museums – including the London Transport Museum.

It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Artburst this year. As manager of the Museum of London’s learning programme for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities, I’m always looking for talented partners to deliver our creative arts projects. I’m delighted to say that in Artburst, I’ve found a team of enthusiastic and dedicated professionals full of great ideas who are highly skilled at improving the confidence and communication skills of the children and young people they work with.Noel Hayden – SEN Programme Manager Museum of London
Many of the children that Artburst work with are from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and as an organisation they have a strong belief that the arts should be experienced by everyone. This comes across strongly in their work; children are given access to storybooks, drama experiences and the development of ides that they would not otherwise experience in their normal school day.Vanessa Chadwick
All the staff are fab. Can you all come round to my house and teach signs to me and my family please!Parent
