Louis Vuitton Young Arts Project: REcreative
Today Louis Vuitton launched a new youth-driven website offering young people exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the art world and a chance to share their work.
“This is a fantastic opportunity to find out more about contemporary art and get involved,” says Tracey Emin, who has been involved with the Louis Vuitton Young Arts Project since it started last year, “ It would have been amazing to have had this chance when I was that age.”
The Louis Vuitton Young Arts Project is a partnership between Louis Vuitton and London’s five leading arts institutions – the Royal Academy of Arts, the Hayward Gallery, Tate Britain, the South London Gallery and the Whitechapel Gallery. Two hundred young Londoners, aged 13-25 take part in the three year arts and education programme which gives them access to the inner workings of the art world.
The REcreative website offers five sections for young people to engage with the arts. REcreative also lets online visitors enter to win trips to artists’ studios, gain access to high profile art events and discuss their work with leading figures in the arts community, and the website offers a “What’s On” section, guest curated by a new artist each month and featuring a selection of the best new exhibitions.
“We are delighted with the peer-led approach the website is taking and cannot wait to see the innovative projects the young people will be creating in response to what they see and learn through exchange and collaborations made possible through REcreative and the Young Arts Project”, said Vuitton’s chairman and CEO, Yves Carcelle.
