The National Galleries of Scotland aims to engage young people with art and offers educational activities designed especially for them.

Saturday Studio
Saturday Studio is devised with and for young people aged 11-15. It is co-ordinated by artist Juliana Capes.

The courses take place in four-week blocks on Saturday afternoons from 1.30-4.30pm. Saturday Studio currently runs from September to April each year. There is a maximum of fifteen participants to ensure a quality experience.

Saturday Studio began in September 2004, developing out of Saturday Art Club. As a particular group of young people reached the 11-year-old cut-off, they wanted to continue attending courses at the Galleries. They themselves were involved in planning the format, timing and content of Saturday Studio. Such consultation with participants continues by meetings and letters.
