The National Gallery Art Road Trip
The National Gallery is taking art and creativity on the road, and across the nation!
From this May to May 2025, the Gallery’s travelling art studio programme, Art Road Trip, is visiting 18 places across the UK. Together with 24 local arts organisations the National Gallery will create community-led arts projects and host around two hundred public events, working with thousands of people to bring art and ideas inspired by the National Gallery Collection right to where they live. The Art Road Trip will be coming to Sheerness from the 19th June – 30th June.
