Kennington Kids: Raw Urban Exhibition – BBC London Feature
For six years Dulwich Picture Gallery's Education Department has been running evening sessions for young people on an estate in Lambeth. The Gallery has partnered with Alford House Youth Club which serves three large council estates between Brixton and Kennington in Lambeth, one of London's poorest boroughs. The aim is to get the kids off the street and to give them a sense of self worth. Every week professional artists teach young people at drop-in workshops where they experience success and discover their creative potential.

To celebrate Kennington Kids and their achievements, Dulwich Picture Gallery organised a remarkable exhibition of their work at City Hall for the month of January 2009.
