aim4 is an Arts Award centre and is able to offer all five levels. Your Arts Award can be based around any arts or media activity, and you can complete it in a wide variety of settings – like youth clubs, arts centres, schools, colleges, theatres or community groups.
There are no entry requirements, no time limit for completing the award, and no set rules on how you present your final work. You just need to be aged between seven and 25, and ready to explore new creative experiences. Find out what inspires you, share your talents, and you’ll walk away with an award that makes a real difference in the world of work and the arts. Arts Award is offered at five levels.
