Artburst co-ordinated the week magnificently and created a wonderful inclusive working atmosphere between all concerned, leading and encouraging the workshops which created the installation for the town hall. They fully understood the needs of our pupils and worked to ensure that all of the activities were appropriate to the needs and aptitudes of our students while maintaining challenging work for our mainstream partners. The final presentation in the Town Hall was very impressive and received high praise from all who visited the event. Most importantly for those of us working in the special needs areas, Artburst proved that they could make the process of art as important and as valuable as the product.

Artburst are excellent providers planning well organised courses for our young people. Our Monitoring officers have praised their provision and we get positive feedback from students, venue managers and parents.

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.
