Introduces children to the joy, wonder and creativity of the arts
The Ark
Georgina Campbell
The Ark introduces children to the joy, wonder and creativity of the arts, and plays a vital role in raising the standard of culture for children.
The Ark was founded on the principle that children, as citizens, have the same cultural rights as adults and they have won widespread respect for commissioning, producing and programming high-quality artistic work for children. Here, in a unique building designed specifically for them, children aged two to 12 explore everything from theatre, music and literature to painting, film, dance and more. They discover what it means to be an artist, from respected professional artists.
