London Mayor Boris Johnson has given his endorsement to the Louis Vuitton Young Arts Project, a new partnership between the iconic fashion house and five of London’s leading cultural institutions.
The project will allow young people across the capital to gain invaluable experience within the arts and includes partnerships with London’s leading art galleries, Hayward Gallery, Royal Academy of Arts, South London Gallery, Tate Britain and Whitechapel Gallery.
The investment will facilitate a three year programme that will give young Londoners aged between 13 – 25 from across the city unique access to the museum directors and curators, artists and collectors who shape the British contemporary art scene.

This is a great story. London has some of the finest art resources in the world and forming a partnership with one of the worlds leading fashion design houses will prove to be an surpassed experience for students in the capital.
