Our Journey
Our Journey brings together exhibitions, workshops, cultural exchanges, and community collaborations that show how children’s artwork travels beyond the studio.
From local exhibitions in London to international creative exchanges, each moment reflects our belief that children’s voices and ideas deserve to be seen, celebrated, and shared.
Toronto, Canada Exhibition
Children’s artwork from Travel Through Art Studio was exhibited at Daniel Spectrum (Artscape) in Toronto, featuring a participatory postcard workshop. Postcards and bookmarks were donated to the Children’s Book Bank, ArtHeart, and Holland Bloorview Children’s Rehabilitation Hospital to support community creativity.
During the visit, the children also took part in a screen-printing workshop delivered by Social Art Space Studio (SASS) at Youngspace, exploring printmaking and community art practice.
Africa Healing Foundation - Creative Donation Engagement
Artwork created by young artists was shared through a creative donation postcard initiative with Africa Healing Foundation, supporting reflection on wellbeing, storytelling, and the impact of sharing art within community health contexts.
Vienna, Austria Cultural Exchange
Children’s artwork was shared through an informal showcase across cultural venues in Vienna, including the Donauturm and Kindermuseum in MuseumsQuartier.
The visit also included musical contributions during a wider cultural exchange connected to Make-A-Wish Austria.
Ripley Arts Centre – Art Explorers Exhibition
A public children’s art exhibition celebrating creativity and imagination, featuring work by young artists from the community alongside children connected to Travel Through Art Studio.
Buckingham Palace
Our talented 8-year-old artist impressed many at Buckingham Palace during the Royal Collection Trust's Home Educators Day. Olivia's striking sketch of Rubens' self-portrait caught the attention of Will Graham, Learning Manager, who remarked: "Whilst walking through the Picture Gallery, my eye caught this very impressive sketch by Olivia!"
City Hall Exhibition - Black History Month
Our 9-year-old artist's work was curated by the GLA (Greater London Authority) and exhibited alongside 14 other professional adult artists for the Mayor of London's Black History Month event "My Roots, My Story" at City Hall.
Community Workshops
Creative workshops delivered in partnership with Ultra Education’s Youth Market programme at Leadenhall Market and Brixton Department Store in London. Children and families took part in hands-on creative activities including postcard art, candle decoration, and Caribbean-inspired wreath making.
These free public workshops encouraged creativity, community participation, and youth enterprise through Ultra Education’s market programme.
Supporting GOSH Charity
Gifted postcards featuring children’s artwork created through Travel Through Art Studio and shared with Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity.
The project celebrates children’s creativity and encourages moments of joy, reflection, and connection through art.
