Value of Artists: Launch of FREE Learning Resources

Bath Spa University warmly invites you to celebrate the launch of five innovative creative learning resources, developed by talented artists from across the West of England.

Creative learning resources offer facilitators, educators, and carers valuable tools to help audiences engage with complex ideas, themes, and concepts in imaginative and meaningful ways. Created to support and inspire learning, these new resources highlight the powerful role that artist-led materials can play in galleries, museums, classrooms and community settings.

As part of a project led by Bath Spa University, five creatives have been commissioned to develop educational resources that explore the role of artists in society—showcasing the diverse career paths they follow and the many ways they contribute to our communities.

These free resources will be distributed across Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire. Highlighting the importance of arts education, they will provide young people with an insight into what it means to be an artist today. We hope you will join us at one of the free launch events to explore how these tools can support and inspire young people.

Join us at a launch event:

Tuesday 21 October 2025, 6–8pm: Locksbrook Campus, Bath Spa University
Monday 10 November 2025, 4:30–5:30pm: Online
Tuesday 18 November 2025, 6–8pm: Front Room Theatre, Weston-super-Mare
