Rachel Bray, founder and artist, said:
‘We’re so proud to get this recognition at The Class Business Awards. To be a finalist in the High Performing Business category is a huge honour. It recognises all the hard work and dedication that has gone into growing the business and supporting children over the years. It’s something we’re proud of and we’re grateful to everyone who has been part of the journey so far.’
Anniversary
This national recognition comes as Let’s Create Art Club approaches its seventh anniversary. Further, it’s set to have their most successful year to date with:
- 14 after school art clubs
- 4 let’s move activity clubs
- weekend workshops and …
- … the continuation of their popular holiday art camps.
Established in 2020, the club’s mission is to allow children to explore painting, drawing, sculpture and design in a safe, fun and pressure-free environment.
‘When I first started my business, I grew it organically by responding to the demand I was receiving to make art and creativity accessible to children and young people. It’s now grown to 18 weekly clubs reaching over 300 children. And we are looking to the future to reach as many children as possible.’
‘It’s super exciting to get recognised in such a prestigious category among other nominees. I can’t wait to celebrate with them all in October!’
There’ll be an announcement of the class business awards winners on Saturday 10th October at the National Conference Centre in Solihull.
Let’s Create Art Club is heading into a busy summer. They’re kicking off their ‘Summer Art Camp’ in August as well as hosting a local art exhibition, created by Swindon’s young people. The entries are showcased at the Richard Jefferies Museum in South Swindon. The club is a member of the Institute of Children’s Activity Providers (ICAP), ensuring the club meets high standards for safety, inclusion and engagement. They were 2025 finalists at the Institute of Children’s Activity Providers (ICAP) awards in the ‘Rising Star – Outstanding achievement in growth and vision for the future’ category.
