About Art Bytes
Art Bytes is a national EdTech programme that utilises a bespoke, immersive, virtual gallery to give young participants the opportunity to see their art exhibited online and engage with new technology from the safety and convenience of their own home or school. It builds confidence and nurtures talent, allows children and young people to see galleries as places “for them” and encourages future cultural engagement.
After a shortlisting panel and an online public vote, the winning artist from each school sees their work displayed in the Art Bytes virtual gallery. Art Bytes culminates every June with a celebration event at a high-profile cultural venue in each of the nine regions of England, which is also available to schools to stream in the classroom or assembly. National and Regional winners are announced, certificates and prizes are presented, and the virtual gallery goes live. The competition is open to all primary (year 5), secondary (year 9) and SEND schools across England.
