About Children’s Art Day

The Clore Duffield Foundation values the role that artists and galleries play in visual arts education, and works to increase opportunities for children and young people to be inspired and challenged through learning about art & design.

Children’s Art Day is a day of events to celebrate art in schools and galleries, museums, art centres and science and discovery centres, as well as in unusual places all over the country.
