Camden Schools Art Biennale

Following its inaugural edition in 2024, Camden Schools Art Biennale returns from 14 – 26 July 2026, once again bringing together the creative energy of Camden’s schools in a major two-week exhibition at the Lethaby Gallery at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London (UAL).

Bringing together hundreds of artworks by young people from schools across Camden, created by pupils across every key stage of learning from the Early Years Foundation Stage, primary and special education through to secondary and A-Level, the Biennale transforms the area into a major celebration of creativity, with sculpture, painting, drawing and film exhibited throughout the gallery and public spaces. 

For 2026, a new 2D ‘sculpture park’ will extend across the Kings Cross estate, bringing young people’s work beyond the gallery for the first time. Alongside the exhibition, a free public events programme at the Lethaby Gallery will invite families, teachers and young people to take part in creative workshops, talks and activities exploring art and making across disciplines. The programme includes hands-on workshops, artist-led sessions, youth-focused career pathways events and opportunities to engage directly with the exhibition and its makers, aiming to open access to creative learning beyond the classroom while strengthening connections between schools, practitioners and the wider public. 

The 2026 Biennale will highlight how art connects Camden’s diverse communities, strengthening links between schools, artists, families and local cultural organisations.

Where: Lethaby Gallery, Central Saint Martins, N1C 4AA

When: 13–26 July 2026
