“The Summer School has been really great for me [and my parents].....I really like how it's given me a whole new perspective on things. It's really inspired me. ” - Kiana, Access Summer School Participant Slade School of Fine Art Summer School recently welcomed 45 students from all walks of life for a free two-week programme in fine art. Designed to remove the barriers that too often determine who gets to pursue a creative path, the Summer School gives the next generation of artists dedicated time, professional facilities and direct access to world-class teaching at no cost. This transformation is a powerful example of our Here, it will happen campaign in action: a commitment to bringing together visionary partners and world-leading ambition to ensure talent is never sidelined by a lack of access. By ensuring the arts and humanities remain an essential part of education for all, we empower students to stay grounded in what makes us human while finding new ways to connect and innovate in a rapidly changing world. This is made possible through the incredible generosity of our donors, whose partnership provides the bridge between a student’s potential and the global stage. Watch the video below to see how the summer school can redefine a young artist's trajectory. It’s not just an education; it’s the exact moment their future begins 🎨
