About Open School East

Open School East (OSE) is an innovative arts charity that delivers free and flexible education programmes with and for communities less likely to access traditional provision. Located in Margate, Kent, OSE offers a space for artistic and collaborative learning that is experimental, versatile and non-exclusive.

We run four complementary strands:

• The Associates Programme: a year-long development programme for emerging artists and cultural practitioners from diverse backgrounds and generations;
• The Young Associates Programme: a full-time, year-long, accredited art and design programme for local young people aged 16-18 who experience difficulty in their education;
• The Public Programme: a multifaceted programme of events, activities and short courses open to everyone;
• The Despacito Art School: a weekly art, craft and functional object-making programme open to 5 to 12 year olds who lack opportunities to develop creatively.

Open School East is committed to making the arts a more open sector and to fostering cultural and social exchanges between artists and the broader public. We do this by making our programmes entirely free of charge and opening them outwards, responding to our locality, and providing an informal and welcoming environment for the development and sharing of knowledge and skills across all communities and generations.

We equip artists at an early stage of their career with the tools to become resourceful and self-sufficient, and enable young people and adults alike to develop confidence and life skills and to shape their creative voice by becoming active learners and co-producers of OSE’s programmes.

OSE strives to be a self-scrutinising and adaptable organisation; accordingly, it keeps its doors open to change and places access, in its widest sense, at the centre of its agenda.
