Art for Youth London was established in 1988 by Diana Brooks MBE as a platform for emerging artists and a fundraising exhibition in support UK Youth. 

2025 marks the 37th anniversary of this annual art exhibition, which has raised over £2 million to date, enabling UK Youth to support a network of over 9,000 youth organisations and national partners, collectively reaching 5.3 million young people, many of whom are living in deprived areas or facing huge personal barriers. Purchasing a work of art, attending our event or making a donation will support artists and vulnerable young people here in the UK.
