Applications are now open for Summer Work Experience 2026

Participants spend time with each department in the venue and experience what it’s like to run a busy arts centre. They also work towards Bronze Arts Award qualifications.

What 2024 participants have said: 

 ”It was so useful and everyone was so welcoming. I already loved the arts but now I just love it even more!” Seobin 

 ” I learnt so much about what work is like in different departments in an arts centre like artsdepot. I really liked how each workshop incorporated different activities, and how we got to complete the Bronze Arts Award.” Tehila 

 ”The week was educational and informative. I learnt a lot about how artsdepot runs. It allowed me to gain tools that I may need for the future not only from the speakers but from my peers as well.”  Joel
