Programmes
Open School East is structured around a 2 year programming cycle, with each cycle exploring and responding to a specific theme. The threads of this theme run through each of OSEs programmes.
In September 2024, we launched Building an Art School for the Future, a new model for programming at Open School East. You can read more about Building an Art School for the Future and find out more about each of our programmes below.
