OUR COMMITMENT TO ART EDUCATION
Cass Art will donate 5% of every purchase you make with the Viridian Card to a charitable organisation that supports art education.
We currently support the National Saturday Club which gives 13–16-year-olds the opportunity to study subjects they love for free at their local university, college or cultural institution. Offering dynamic creative learning programmes in seven subject areas – Art&Design, Craft&Making, Fashion&Business, Science&Engineering, Fashion&Business, Society&Change, Film&Media and Writing&Talking – the model works to develop young people’s skills, nurture their talents and encourage their creativity.
As a powerful, nationwide network, the National Saturday Club represents an exceptional opportunity to build young people’s creative skills and embolden them to become the next generation of innovators and imaginative thinkers. It also serves to connect educators and industry professionals so young people are better informed about the choices that exist for further education and rewarding careers.
