Carclew In Schools

Empower your students. Collaborate with a professional artist.
Register your interest for 2026.

Carclew in Schools’ creative learning programs connect children and young people, educators and learning communities with the broader arts sector. We invite professional artists to partner with South Australian primary and secondary schools to transform learning communities through creativity.

Developed in partnership with schools, outcomes are guided by goals for teaching and learning, wellbeing and community. Programs are responsive to learners and provide visibility to creative pathways.

When young people and educators participate in Carclew in Schools’ creative learning programs, they stand side-by-side with professional artists as collaborators, examining issues critical to our future.
