Art Bytes is a national EdTech programme and inter-school art competition, open to schools across England.

Art Bytes 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.

Art Bytes is open to all primary (year 5), secondary (year 9) and SEND schools across England.

Art Bytes takes place in the 2021-22 academic year. In the East Midlands was are partnering with Derby’s QUAD to host a regional celebration event and virtual exhibition launch in June 2022, which will also be live-streamed online and accessible from school.
