CREATING THE FUTURE FRAMEWORK Mapping to Arts Award Levels (Explore, Bronze, Silver, Gold)
The following mapping indicates where strands of the Creating the Future framework might tie in to delivery of Arts Award.

Notes below are brief in the expectation that a trained adviser would refer to the Arts Award toolkit for detailed evidence requirements and assessment criteria appropriate to each level.
