A gala exhibition of home-educated children’s artwork takes place in Newton Abbot in July.

It’s been created by Laura Slatter, founder of the Little Arts Shed Studio, and will be at Highweek Scout Hut on July 17, 5.30pm-7.30pm.

She said: “As a home educating family ourselves, I know how important it is for children to feel seen, celebrated, and proud of who they are.

“We wanted to create something that feels really special for them — an event where they can experience the excitement of exhibiting their artwork as real artists in a gala-style setting.

“The home education community is filled with incredibly talented, kind, and creative young people, and this exhibition is about celebrating their achievements, building confidence, and bringing families and the wider community together through creativity.”
