Artswork has announced that Princess Eugenie has become a Patron of the charity, marking a significant moment in their mission to champion creativity and amplify the voices of children and young people.
As a national charity dedicated to empowering young lives through creativity, Artswork works to ensure that every child and young person has access to inclusive, creative opportunities that help them build confidence, unlock talent and make change happen.

Her Royal Highness brings with her both lived experience and passion for the arts. After studying English Literature and History of Art at Newcastle University, she spent a year in New York contributing to the online auction firm Paddle8. In 2015 she joined the London offices of the contemporary gallery Hauser & Wirth, where she rose to the role of director within just two years and still holds the position.
Speaking about her new role, the Princess said: ‘I think empowerment is such a beautiful word, and so working alongside Artswork to empower young people is something I feel really aligned on. I hope more people will learn about Artswork, and I hope it will create something amazing for the future.’

Writing on their website, Artswork noted how this new partnership ‘reflects a shared commitment to nurturing talent, building confidence, and empowering young people to become the next generation of creative and cultural leaders’.
They also state how the announcement of the patronage marks a significant milestone in the organisation’s journey to empower young people to be the next generation of creative and cultural leaders.

This new role isn’t the only responsibility that Eugenie hasn’t taken on recently, she has become a mentor for The King’s Foundation’s ’35 Under 35′ network, which brings together 35 young individuals dedicated to driving change in sustainability, traditional crafts, and the arts
