The ArtZone is a community art initiative that aims to bring together young people and their teachers or leaders with organisations in the private and public sectors in a unique way.  The aim of The ArtZone is to divert young people into creative activities of benefit to themselves and society as a whole through seeing their artwork being used in the community.   We encourage schools and youth groups to send young people's artwork for consideration to be placed on the on-line gallery. We also provide an outlet for artwork created for special events and competitions.  Businesses, local authorities, government agencies and others that have a strong sense of corporate responsibility and who want to encourage a feeling of self worth in young people may use the artwork in a variety of ways to support their community communications. We work along side professional artists, young and old, who are prepared to give up a small part of their time to encourage young people to use the arts to express themselves in a positive rather than a negative way.
