What is Creative Arts Newham?

Training and education
Newham offers many opportunities for training and education in the arts – especially in the performing arts and digital media. No matter what level you’re at, or what age you are, there’s an organisation in the borough to match your interests and help you advance your career or your passion.

But how do you get hold of the information that will guide you to the right course or programme? How do you access the people you need to talk to? What are the application procedures? And can you be sure that what you choose will lead you to the next stage and link you with possible employers?

Why Creative Arts Newham?
Creative Arts Newham has been formed to answer these questions. A new body comprised of the best arts and education organisations in the borough, its aim is to set out clearly what’s there for you.

There is extraordinary cross-fertilisation between its partner organisations,
all featured here, and Creative Arts Newham will liaise between all the different courses on offer, so you can tap into a wealth of opportunity and
devise the ideal route for you.

Use the prospectus (pdf, 714kb) to see how you might benefit from these resources – and then get in touch with the partner organisations or with Creative Arts Newham, to work out your perfect study package. You will find courses from entry to postgraduate level.

As you talk to the organisations, you will find that there are many opportunities for work-based learning, and to benefit from work experience in your chosen field. Always bear in mind that even if you don’t end up with a career in the creative industries, every skill you learn has value and will be transferable to any workplace. The riches you may unearth here will be good for life.
