    Find us at Central Saint Martins, Granary Square

Creativity shapes not only what we make, but how we live. The Camden Schools Art Biennale begins from that conviction, and from a simple belief: we all have a right to imagine. Central Saint Martins, working with Camden Council and Camden Learning, is helping every young person in our borough see art as a way of making sense of the world, and changing it. Come and meet Camden's young artists.

— Rathna Ramanathan, Provost of Central Saint Martins | Executive Dean of Global Affairs
