After collaborating over the years with established artists like the late Stephen Sprouse and Takahashi Murakami — with whom they created a pop-up handbag store at the Brooklyn Museum — French fashion house Louis Vuitton has apparently decided to create a farm team of up-and-coming talent. The fashion house has launched a Young Arts Project, an initiative that will give promising emerging artists access to an immersive three-year program of workshops and tours at Tate Britain, the Royal Academy of Arts, South London Gallery, Whitechapel Gallery, and the Hayward Gallery.

The South London Gallery will oversee the project, working in concert with the four other institutions and artists Chris Ofili and Charlie Dark, who helped conceive the program. British art-world heavyweights like Tracey Emin, Gary Hume, Michael Landy, and Keith Tyson will also provide guidance, along with various collectors — giving artists between the ages of 13 and 25 rare access to power players in the British art scene.

The Young Arts Project plans to recruit students from local schools and youth groups, breaking them up into five panels to visit exhibition spaces and hear talks with artists and museum directors. The five galleries will later select a group from each panel to take part in an intensive five-day academy, the first of which will be take place at the Royal Academy Schools and Louis Vuitton's New Bond Street location.
