The second London edition of Together We Art, an exhibition and auction to benefit the global charity Life Project 4 Youth (LP4Y), supporting and advocating for the inclusion of youth suffering from extreme poverty and exclusion, will be held at the Royal Society of Arts, London from 27th – 31st January 2025. Artists donating works include Turner Prize shortlisted artist Pio Abad, photographer Jamie Morgan, Jemma Powell, Lorna May Wadsworth and John Monks.
Last year’s inaugural exhibition at Cromwell Place raised over £110,000 and for 2025, the goal is to surpass that success, raising crucial funds to support LP4Y’s work.
The curated exhibition will feature over 20 donated works from accomplished multidisciplinary artists including Turner Prize nominee Pio Abad, and Nicolas Lefeuvre alongside leading architects including Narinder Sagoo MBE and Yasmeen Lari. The exhibition will showcase an eclectic mix of media, from paintings and sculptures to photography and installations, each piece contributing to the story of youth resilience and ambition. All proceeds from the in-person and online auction will go directly to LP4Y’s youth empowerment initiatives.
This year’s event will take place from 27th January to 31st January 2025 at RSA House, an iconic venue in the heart of London that has long been associated with championing social progress and creative innovation. Bringing together over 20 internationally renowned artists and architects, Together We Art will raise vital funds for LP4Y’s programs, which empower marginalised youth across Asia and the Middle East, leveraging the transformative power of art to raise funds for LP4Y’s mission, supporting young people living in poverty with the skills, opportunities, and resources they need to build brighter futures.
Last year’s inaugural exhibition at Cromwell Place raised over £110,000 and attracted 500+ visitors. With more than 20 artists donating their work, Together We Art made a remarkable entrance into London’s cultural scene. This year, the goal is to surpass that success, bringing in even more visitors and raising crucial funds to support LP4Y’s work.

Pio Abad, 2024 Turner Prize shortlisted artist, revealed: “Supporting Together We Art feels deeply personal to me, knowing that the proceeds directly impact marginalised youth in the Philippines. Art has the potential to inspire change, and I’m grateful to be part of this initiative.”
Laure Delaporte, Founder of LP4Y, added: “When creativity becomes one of the key elements for vulnerable young people to imagine a better future, they are exposed to an infinite universe of possibilities. This is a fundamental element of LP4Y’s pedagogy, inspiring generous artists to rally behind the youth and offer their support. Together, they breathe life into dreams, transform perspectives, and create a future filled with beauty and hope.” G
Gabrielle Steg, Project Manager for Together We Art, commented, “The response from the artistic community has been incredible. Their generosity and the quality of the work they’ve contributed reflect not just their support for our cause but their belief in the power of art to inspire change. We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone to RSA House and creating another impactful event.”
