Sky Arts Painting Competition

Art Activities for families
Research shows that children who participate in the arts are more resilient, healthier, do better in school and go on to have successful careers. There are lots of ways you can support your child’s love and appreciation of Art outside of school. Here are some useful links to Art opportunities in Manchester.
