enquire Phase 3 – Apply Now

Phase 3 of the enquire programme will directly resource galleries across England to deliver more education work for children and young people. The enquire research into the learning benefits of engaging with contemporary art and with artists and the conditions for learning will be used and will build on extensive CPD for gallery educators, teachers and artists in enquire phases 1 and 2. The galleries will be selected in tandem with the development of the 'Find Your Talent' Cultural Offer regional pilots. Click on the links below for more information.

This phase has now been extended to March 2008, enabling the clusters to pursue their projects with children and young people and their particular area of research for a further year.
In October 2008 two further clusters, In Kent and Cornwall, joined the programme as a result of funding from the Foyle Foundation.
