Essential information
The Saturday Art & Design Club is part of the National Saturday Club network and is our free weekly creative drop-in for young people aged 13-16. We are currently running sessions online via zoom, with material packs posted out in advance to members. Sessions take place 10am-1pm and are co-delivered by artists Amy Leung and Maru Rojas. This is a wonderful opportunity to develop new skills, make new friends, achieve a bronze art award and showcase your artwork in a national exhibition! There are still some places available so please sign up using the online registration below.
How do I sign up for Saturday Art Club 2020-21?
What does it involve?
Club members will have the opportunity to explore artworks at the National Maritime Museum and our sister site the Queen’s House, plus have exclusive back-of-house access to our historic and contemporary art collections. The weekly workshops will be facilitated by a professional artist who will support you to develop new skills in critical thinking and creative practice. You will have opportunities to work across different artistic disciplines from printmaking and textiles to film and animation, exhibit your work, facilitate workshops, visit other galleries and gain an accredited Bronze or Silver Arts Award.
Club members will also take part in three National Events; the London Visit, in which club members take part in a pop-up self-portrait exhibition and visit the capital’s museums and galleries; a Masterclass with a leading creative industry professional; and the Summer Show where all club members exhibit their work in an exhibition in Somerset House, London – all for free!

No. All materials will be provided. You’re welcome to come along by yourself or bring some friends.
Does it take place every Saturday?

Before I came to this club I was afraid of speaking to other people, I was so quiet but now I can talk to anyone without any fear.
