Art Pad is an arts-based youth club for Young People aged 8-12yrs living in and around Perrott’s Folly.
We focus on visual arts and heritage activities in our sessions and explore art forms from Comic Arts to print-making and photography. All our sessions are run by professional artists.
We also like to get out and about and when not in Lockdown, run trips to places like the Ikon Gallery, Birmingham Wildlife Park and the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.
Most of all we like to have fun!
