ARTS
Saturday Art Club Online Exhibition
The Saturday Art Club took place at Weeting 21 in 2007. Five artists covered the sessions, each bringing a different process for the young people to try. Those who attended the club were aged from eight to fifteen. The SAC provided young people living in a rural area access to participatory arts workshops with professional artists and the opportunity to undertake the Arts Award at Bronze and Silver levels.
All the artists provided an illustrated talk about their life as an artist and approach to creating their artwork. They also brought sketchbooks and working models and samples, so the young people could see the background work involved with creating art.

Thank you to the volunteers who helped with every session. Their help made it possible for a broad age range of young people to attend the Saturday Art Club.
The Arts Award
Three of the young people completed the Arts Award – an accredited qualification from Trinity College London and the Arts Council, which is available to those aged 11 to 24 years:
Darcy Wilson - Bronze Award
Eloise Trett - Bronze and Silver Award
Jay Yates - Bronze Award
The Arts Award is not currently available at Weeting 21. Brandon Country Park is the nearest Arts Award centre to Weeting.
The SAC was funded through Awards for All, Norfolk County Council’s Arts Project Fund and a Youth Activity Grant from Breckland District Council.
