Sponsorship packages for the NACE Awards 2026
Partner with purpose, create lasting impact
About the awards
The National Arts and Cultural Education Awards shine a spotlight on outstanding practice and innovation in creative and cultural learning, wherever it is happening across the country.
Building on a strong legacy of Awards in 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2024, this year’s celebration recognises exceptional work taking place across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Ten award categories highlight a diverse range of achievements - from Arts Leadership to Young Arts Activism and much more. The ceremony will also feature a vibrant programme of dance, music and drama performances.
At their heart, these Awards celebrate the incredible and passionate people who make creative and cultural learning possible: teachers, teaching artists and creative practitioners; youth and social workers; health and wellbeing specialists; and dedicated community volunteers. Together, they are transforming young lives and breaking down barriers to engagement with arts and culture.
To be in a room with so many people who are committed to serving children and young people’s lives and improving their experiences through creativity was an absolute honour.
