School Art Trips to Venice
The eternal allure for aspiring artists
Known for its dreamy canals, majestic architecture and timeless grandeur, Venice is a city you’re sure to lose your heart to. Budding young artists will be inspired with every corner turned as they explore its lavish palaces, exquisite churches and teal-coloured waters.
Tick off those must-see phenomenona, including St Mark’s Basilica and Doge’s Palace, not forgetting the all-too impressive Peggy Guggenheim Collection. Home to some of the most celebrated art of the 20th century, the museum has enough surrealist paintings and avant-garde sculptures to fill your sketchbook with ten times over.
