Young people up to the age of 25 will be invited to explore the installations of the world-renowned English sculptor Antony Gormley whose exhibition is on at the Royal Academy of Arts in London from 21 September to 3 December 2019.

In the scope of BNP Paribas AccessArt25, the young people are invited to three special evenings on 14 October, 18 and 25 November 2019, from 6.30 to 9.30 pm. Throughout all three evenings they will get involved in zine making, clay workshops and iPad drawing classes, as well as listen in on a series of talks from arts professionals, offering insight and advice to those looking for a career in the arts.

BNP Paribas devised the event in collaboration with community representatives, charity organizations, schools, colleges and other partners.

On the first evening (Monday 14 October), 67% of the audience was first time visitors and 35% BAME and 97% said they would recommend attending an AccessArt25 event to their friends.

Ambassadors for the programme include Antony Gormley himself, Kwame Kwei-Armah (Artistic Director of the Young Vic), Basma Khalifa (Filmmaker and stylist), Sir David Adjaye (British Architect), Bob and Roberta Smith (British Artist), Usher (R&B international singer) and Susie Wakoma (British Actress).
