Coventry University

Join the National Saturday Club at Coventry University, a dynamic creative club for young people aged 13–16. Get hands-on in our specialist studios and workshops at the Delia Derbyshire Building, exploring drawing, painting, photography, illustration, graphic design, ceramics, textiles, printmaking, 3D making, sculpture, metalwork and creative technologies.

No experience needed — just bring your ideas, curiosity and imagination! Learn from Coventry University tutors, meet accomplished artists and designers, develop new skills, experiment with materials and technology, visit galleries, exhibit your own work, and connect with other young creatives.

This year, be part of something really exciting: the British Art Show is coming to Coventry University, with opportunities for Club members to get involved. Completely FREE. Join us and see where your creativity takes you!

Club members also take part in national events including Masterclasses with leading industry professionals and the Summer Show, where Saturday Clubs nationwide exhibit their work in a public exhibition – all for free!

Accessibility statement:
We are committed to making our Saturday Art Club welcoming, inclusive and accessible to all young people.

Sessions take place in accessible university teaching spaces, with activities designed to support a range of learning styles, abilities and creative interests. We use clear demonstrations, practical guidance and flexible approaches to help all Club members participate and develop their ideas.

We understand that everyone’s access needs are different. If your child has any additional needs, access requirements, allergies or other considerations that may affect their participation, please contact us before attending so that we can discuss how we can best support them.

Parents, carers, personal assistants and support workers are welcome where required. Activities can be adapted where possible to support individual needs.

The Saturday Club gives me opportunities to explore a subject that I love, with other like-minded people

Club member, Coventry University

My son has thoroughly enjoyed his experience at Coventry University Art&Design Club. His confidence and his artistic ability seem to have flourished within this time. He has especially enjoyed the trips to London and the new friends he has made through the Club

I feel a lot more confident talking to people now. Saturday Club brings people with common interests together

This has changed my entire opinion of education and I will definitely be taking art in further education.

The club is doing creative work that there is no chance to do at school.
