Art Road Trip

May 2024 - May 2025

We’re taking art and creativity on the road, across the nation. 
 
From this May to May 2025, our travelling art studio programme, Art Road Trip, is visiting 18 places across the UK. 

We’re going to be working with 24 local arts organisations to create community-led arts projects. In each location, we’ll design events for people with the least access to creative opportunities and the arts.  

Our mobile art studio will host around two hundred public events and work with thousands of people to bring art and ideas inspired by the National Gallery Collection right to where they live.
