Join our Saturday Art Club for young people aged 13-16 who live, work or study in Greenwich, starting October 2026. Come every week to the National Maritime Museum to develop new skills, make new friends, go on trips to different museums and galleries, and have your work shown to the public in July at Somerset House!

The workshops are free, we provide art materials and snacks, and can support with covering travel costs for trips outside the Museum.
What you’ll do
– Learn techniques like printmaking, sculpture and collage
– Explore museum stories, themes and collections
– Work towards achieving a Bronze or Silver Arts Award
– Visit other museums or art galleries
– Experiment with different art styles and materials
– Meet new people and work as part of a creative group

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