The spark gives children opportunities to immerse themselves in the arts by experiencing a wide range of high quality work that inspires, empowers and educates. Through an annual festival, cultural education & community programmes and production of our own work we offer children the space to discover their own skills, passions and potential, as audiences, participants & creators of their own art.
