Summer Work Experience

Each year, artsdepot offers a week-long work experience placement for young people in years 10 – 13.

Each year, we offer a week-long placement for young people in Years 10 – 13 interested in the arts and creative industries.

Participants get behind-the-scenes experience across different artsdepot departments, discover the wide range of careers involved in running an arts centre, and work towards a Bronze Arts Award qualification.

We welcome applications from any young person in Years 10 – 13 with an interest in the arts – you don’t need to have any previous experience.

Our next Work Experience Week will be in July 2027. Applications are expected to open in November 2026.

Interested in applying? Add your details to this form and we’ll contact you when applications open.

If you have any questions, please contact us via participation@artsdepot.co.uk.

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

It has opened up my ideas on how many jobs there are in the arts

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.
