Step into a dynamic celebration of youth creativity at the National Saturday Club Summer Show this July.
This year’s exhibition will take over a number of spaces across London’s prestigious Somerset House. Leading visitors on a journey through four zones – Imagine, Empower, Create and Inspire – the Summer Show will showcase the ideas, creativity and innovation of the nation’s next generation.
Celebrating the work of 2,000 13–16-year-olds from across the UK, this free exhibition showcases original pieces created by young people participating in this year’s National Saturday Club programme. From photography and film to fashion, sculpture, architecture, and graphic design, the Summer Show offers a powerful insight into young people today.
The exhibition marks the culmination of a year-long journey for Club members, who attend free weekly classes at leading universities, colleges, and cultural organisations. Each display reflects the imagination and individuality of the young creators.
Whether you're an aspiring artist, educator, or simply curious about the UK’s emerging creative voices, the Summer Show invites you to explore how creativity has the power to unlock potential, spark opportunity, and shape the future.
