AccessArt forum boards

Practical advice and inspiration relating to all aspects of making and teaching art.

Since 1999 AccessArt has been recognized across the UK and overseas for its pioneering approach to visual arts education online. Now the highly visual resources on the AccessArt website are supported further through the newly launched AccessArt forum boards.

The forum boards aim to create a much needed arena for users to exchange practical information, advice and inspiration relating to all aspects of making and teaching art. 

AccessArt is a UK registered charity and limited company committed to furthering the advancement of education in the visual arts. AccessArt leads the way in employing new, creative approaches to teaching and learning in the visual arts, and supports and advocates learning pathways for those who learn best visually, spatially and kinaesthetically. AccessArt also designs and delivers creative projects in the community and in schools.
