Saturday Art Club
Saturday Art Club is a partnership programme between NTU and the National Saturday Club Trust aimed at giving school pupils in Years 9, 10 and 11 the opportunity to get involved in creative subjects for free.
What will the sessions involve?
The combination of imaginative thinking and technical skills that is at the heart of our Art Club is the foundation for a diverse range of careers, including fine art, fashion, textiles, photography, illustration, animation and more.
The Saturday Art Club will run over three terms, in blocks of sessions each term, with a minimum of 18 sessions a year.
Members will have the opportunity to develop a wide range of creative skills and work with different media from traditional to digital. They will have access to NTU’s fantastic Art and Design facilities and learn from talented NTU staff, students and visiting artists.
Over the year we will experiment with different creative art forms including illustration, painting, collage, photography, clay, fashion, creative writing, calligraphy, film making and much more.
Club members will also have the opportunity to go on trips to cultural institutions in Nottingham and further afield, attend the National Saturday Club’s annual Graduation ceremony and Summer Show at Somerset House in London.
As well as having lots of fun, Saturday Art Club looks great on a CV, especially if members choose to apply to college or university later on. There will also be the opportunity for club members to exhibit their work nationally.

"We learnt a massive range of new exciting skills such as screen-printing, calligraphy and photography… During the trips to London and the galleries, we also learnt a lot more about the world of art and the growing creative industries. At Saturday Art Club, I would say the freedom to experiment with different materials and stuff was probably the best part."
