Hive Music and Media Centre arts award centre for young people

Arts Award at the Hive Music and Media Centre:

The Arts Award is a national qualification which supports young people aged 11-25 to develop as artists and arts leaders. The Hive is an official Arts Award Welcome Centre and offers Arts Award accreditation within most projects.

You can:

See young bands
See Live theatre
Take part in activities aimed at young people
Learn new skills, and to use new equipment
Volunteer to help us run activities and to help others
Ask us for help, advice and guidance on completing your Arts Award portfolio

Our target audience are young people aged 11-19 (as that is the age we work with relevant to Arts Award) in Shropshire interested in music and new media.

We currently have Arts Award advisors trained up to Silver level, and will shortly have Gold level trained advisors ready to help.

We hold regular drop-in sessions twice a month:

On the second Tuesday - between 2:00pm and 5:00pm
On the last Thursday - between 4:00pm and 6:00pm

These drop-in sessions offer you the opportunity to meet an Arts Award advisor and get help and advice. We would prefer it if you call in advance, but it is not necessary.

At present we are a closed centre offering support at bronze/silver level for people who are taking part in our programmes in music and media, but in the future we hope to extend that to gold level, and to eventually become an open centre.
