About Travel Through Art Studio

 

Travel Through Art Studio is an independent creative initiative centred on children’s self-led artistic exploration, supported through thoughtful facilitation, shared learning and creative guidance.

The studio celebrates children’s voices and creative journeys, creating space for confidence, curiosity and expression to grow through art, storytelling, cultural exchange and community engagement.

What began with our own children's creative exploration has grown into a creative organisation delivering workshops, exhibitions, cultural collaborations and international creative exchanges across the UK, Europe and North America.

Children are encouraged to follow their own ideas, develop their own styles and explore storytelling through art in open, welcoming environments where their work is valued beyond the studio.

Our Mission

We believe every child has a unique voice worth celebrating.

Through art, poetry, music and hands-on creative experiences, Travel Through Art Studio supports children to say:

"This is my work,"

with confidence and pride.

Our mission is to nurture creativity, build self-belief and create meaningful opportunities for children to share their perspectives with wider audiences—locally, nationally and internationally.

What We Do

Travel Through Art Studio works across visual art, storytelling and community engagement.

Our activity includes:

  • Child-led creative workshops and community events
  • Travelling exhibitions of children's artwork in public and cultural spaces
  • International creative exchange and cultural collaboration programmes
  • Original artwork transformed into prints, cards, calendars and gifts
  • Pop-up markets and exhibition showcases
  • Creative collaborations with charities, councils, schools and cultural organisations
  • Live art, poetry and music shared alongside exhibitions
  • Literacy-inspired art projects, reading initiatives and storytelling programmes

Our growing exhibition programme includes Stories in Motion: Celebrating Stories Through Art & Imagination, a month-long exhibition at Deptford Lounge, London, presented by Travel Through Art Studio and Ultra Education. The programme features a curated exhibition, the Meet the Artists launch event, the Young Creators Fair and an International Creative Exchange with Toronto, Canada.

Children's artwork has been shared in community venues, cultural institutions and international settings including:

  • Toronto, Canada — International exhibition, creative exchange and participatory community art programme at Daniel Spectrum (Artscape), including a postcard workshop and community art donations.
  • Vienna, Austria — International cultural showcase across MuseumsQuartier and Donauturm.
  • London, UK — City Hall exhibition curated by the Greater London Authority.
  • Buckingham Palace — Recognition by the Royal Collection Trust.
  • Guyana Folk Festival, London — Stories in Motion: Colours of Connection exhibition presented in partnership with GUSDA as part of Guyana's 60th Anniversary celebrations.

These experiences allow young artists to see their work recognised and valued beyond the studio while connecting with wider communities through exhibitions, cultural exchange and creative storytelling.

Community & Charitable Engagement

Alongside exhibitions and workshops, Travel Through Art Studio supports charitable and community-focused organisations through creative donation initiatives, cultural partnerships and community engagement projects.

In Toronto, Canada, community outreach included the donation of 300 postcards and bookmarks to Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, alongside creative engagement with Social Art Space Studio (SASS) and contributions to the Children's Book Bank Toronto.

Through a creative donation initiative with Africa Healing Foundation, children's artwork travelled internationally to Kandara, Kenya, demonstrating how young artists' voices can cross borders and contribute meaningfully to community wellbeing, creativity and storytelling.

Creative collaborations and partnerships have included Deptford Lounge, Ultra Education, GOSH Arts, Africa Healing Foundation, GUSDA (Guyana UK Social Development Association), The Black Curriculum, Just In Carnival, Idea Store Canary Wharf and other community arts organisations.

Together, these partnerships have supported exhibitions, cultural celebrations, literacy initiatives, workshops, creative exchanges and opportunities for children and young people to share their work with wider audiences locally, nationally and internationally.

Recognition & Cultural Engagement

Children's artwork connected to Travel Through Art Studio has been recognised and shared across public, cultural and community settings, including:

  • Recognition by the Royal Collection Trust at Buckingham Palace
  • Exhibition at City Hall for the Mayor of London's Black History Month programme
  • International exhibitions in Canada and Austria
  • Cultural engagement through arts workshops, music collaborations and cross-cultural craft experiences

From exhibitions and workshops to international creative exchanges and cultural partnerships, Travel Through Art Studio continues to create meaningful opportunities for children and young people to explore, create, connect and share their stories through art.

Every purchase, exhibition, workshop and creative partnership helps support young artists and creates new opportunities for children and young people to share their creativity with wider audiences.
