Sherwood Young Artists was first set up in 2012 for a handful of children that had a passion for art. It is run by Natasha East, a trained Theatre Designer (Nottingham Trent University) and an experienced Secondary School Art Teacher, working in Nottinghamshire schools for the past 20 years.

We have grown significantly over the years, now offering 7 weekly art classes for children aged 7-18 and currently have over 100 members. These young artists love getting their art into the community and have been involved with Sherwood Art Week, Nottingham Light Night, public exhibitions, as well as creating public art in their Sherwood neighbourhood.

SHERWOOD YOUNG ARTISTS – STUDIO

In August 2020 Sherwood Young Artists moved into their own studio. It is in the Hartley Business Centre in Sherwood. The studio is fully equipped and can comfortably sit 22 children. It is a versatile space and they have great plans of how it will be used in the future.
