Creative Mile Youth Competition
Creative Mile Youth Competition 2026:
CREATE, MAKE & SHARE!
Calling all young artists!
Come along to the Creative Mile Art Trail for a fun, creative drop-in activity inspired by this year’s theme, LOVE, and our collaboration with the National Gallery’s Art on Your Doorstep programme. Get creative with folding and decorating techniques to design and build your own miniature paper house, and celebrate LOVE through art.
Join us in the space showcasing artwork from our Creative Mile Youth Competition and see what other young artists have created — then have a go yourself!
No experience needed — just bring your imagination!
Creative Mile Weekend 2026
Brentford school for girls
Open to young artists
Come along, get creative and make your mark!
Please supervise your children:
Children must be supervised by a responsible adult at all times. Creative Mile organisers and volunteers cannot accept responsibility for children attending the activity.
Adults are responsible for supervising their children and ensuring they use the equipment and materials safely and appropriately. Please be aware that some creative activities may involve scissors, glue or other materials.
Please help us keep the creative space tidy by encouraging children to clean up after themselves, return all equipment and materials to where they belong, and leave the workspace ready for the next young artist.
By taking part, parents/carers accept responsibility for supervising their children and for their safety while participating in the activity.
Thank you for helping us keep Creative Mile creative, safe and enjoyable for everyone!
A very big Thank you to Lodge Brothers for sponsorship of the prizes for the Creative Mile Youth Competition
