Arts Emergency

We help young people get a fair start in the arts and humanities 

Arts Emergency is ready to launch in West Yorkshire!

This winter, we are looking for 25 new Bursars to fund the creation of 25 mentee places in West Yorkshire and make a life-changing contribution to the next generation of artists and thinkers.

There is no greater way to pass on your privilege!

Young people from privileged backgrounds are 4x more likely to make it in the creative industries than their less privileged peers. We are the alternative old boy network for young people that need us most.

You can help directly by sharing advice, resources, and more. Join over 9,000 other creatives passionate about change. Join the Arts Emergency Network and make a difference today.
