Artsmark is an award for schools who demonstrate their commitment to embedding arts and cultural provision at the heart of their school.  As an Artsmark Partner, The Bowdleflodes Zoo Project is an advocate for the Artsmark accreditation.

To register your school for Artsmark, you need to contact your local Bridge Organisation of which there are ten located around the country.

Bridge Organisations build bridges between communities, schools and education settings, and great high-quality arts and culture.  Neither way is necessarily ‘better’ or ‘worse’, it just depends what’s most convenient for you.

Appointed and funded by Arts Council England, the Bridge Organisations support with:

• Delivering Artsmark Development Days
• Running Artsmark support sessions
• Giving you advice by phone, email or in person
• Sharing practical resources
• Introducing you to leading cultural organisations in your area, including Artsmark Partners – like The Bowdleflodes Zoo Project!

Once you’ve registered for Artsmark, your local Bridge Organisation will be in touch to book you onto a Development Day.

Please read through the Artsmark FAQ section if you have any questions before completing and submitting your registration. Once you’ve been in touch with your local bridge organisation, you can register for Artsmark.
