Introducing the Arts Award Portfolio Examples Hub

Are you or the young people you are working with seeking inspiration and guidance on crafting an impressive Arts Award portfolio? Look no further! Introducing the Arts Award Portfolio Examples Hub your new go-to destination for exploring example portfolios. Dive into this resource to gain insights into what constitutes a high-quality portfolio and observe how the activities and evidence requirements in Arts Award progress across the levels. Whether you're an adviser or young person, this hub is designed to empower and illuminate the journey towards Arts Award excellence.

Complementing the level specific hubs available on Arts Award Voice this new area pulls together some examples of Arts Award work to draw inspiration and ideas from at any level. There’s example portfolios using video, slideshows, online sharing and much more. It provides a useful reference point to consider the increasing standard and depth of work required as a young person progresses through Arts Award levels.

The hub is a curated collection of example portfolios from talented individuals involved in their own Arts Award journeys. We feature work covering fashion, digital arts, theatre, music, film, dance and more.

Examples are organised into four themes relevant to Arts Award:

• Arts Reviews
• Finding out about the arts sector
• Personal reflection and sharing
• Plan, do, review
  

These themes and types of activity are present across a number of Arts Award levels and the resources show how the evidence depth required varies by level.
