Art Assassins

SLG's youth collective for people aged 16-21.

Are you aged 16-21? Join Art Assassins, SLG’s collective for emerging creatives, where you’ll collaborate with artists and staff to create exciting new projects.

What do we do?
As an Art Assassin, you’ll have the chance to shape unique creative projects. In the past, we’ve curated a youth takeover festival, produced a video game, and even started a political party.

“ The experience of being an Art Assassin has boosted my confidence and made me feel more confident and secure in myself entering the creative industry. South London Gallery genuinely feels like a nurturing place where the education team holds community and support at its core.”
