Education and learning are at the heart of the De La Warr Pavilion. The world class programme and unique spaces provide inspiration for a wide range of projects and activities for people of all ages.
Our Education & Learning Programme aims to support and enable people to realise their creative potential, and to enhance people's ability to engage with contemporary art at all levels - as audience, commentator and participant.
DLWP is committed to developing a broad and diverse audience, and many events are free, or offered at minimal cost.
The new Studio is now the hub of our education and community programme, providing a flexible, welcoming space for talks, courses, rehearsals and hands-on practical workshops.

Working Our Way 2 - The Exhibition
‘How can the De La Warr Pavilion be used as a resource for creative education?‘
Working Our Way 2 is a programme of eight partnership projects bringing together artists with teachers and pupils from primary schools in Bexhill-on-Sea to explore the question, ‘How can the De La Warr Pavilion be used as a resource for creative education?‘
The programme represents a unique partnership between the Pavilion, the Bexhill Consortium (which brings together all the schools in the town plus other key local partners), the schools themselves and Creative Partnerships, Hastings & East Sussex. It is a progression on from an exhibition held at the Pavilion in May 2007 of primary work and approaches called Working Our Way: Creative journeys in education.
All of Bexhill‘s primary schools are partners in WOW2, and projects took place between March – July 2008., involving visits to the Pavilion and sessions in school.
Working in partnership with the De La Warr Pavilion‘s Education & Learning team, eight inspirational projects were devised by artists and teachers working closely together, drawing on the Pavilion‘s exhibition programme and aspects of the building itself – its architecture and history.
As a result, the projects were very diverse, exploring the Pavilion as a physical space, a performance space, a social and historical space, an exhibition space and a site of stories and experiences.
The strongest theme, which emerged from all the projects, is that the De La Warr Pavilion is a site of multiple inspirations that can stimulate creative responses in many different ways.
This exhibition represents just some of the fantastic work produced by pupils in response to the programme.
