Artists in Education Agencies

The Arts in Education Agencies operate across the region, to support the professional development of educators, carers and artists working together in early years projects. They are committed to increasing the awareness and practice of creative approaches to learning, and are publicly funded to offer a variety of support opportunities to those in their catchment areas.
