A published school anthology, without the school admin headache.
Young Artists Anthology helps primary schools turn pupils' artwork into a professionally published paperback book that families can order — while the school receives a donation from every copy sold.
There is no charge to the school to take part. Schools simply use their usual classroom art materials.

Children complete their artwork during class as a simple creative activity.

Your school securely uploads scans or clear photos. Originals stay with pupils.
Publish
We prepare the book, open family ordering, print the anthology and send your school its fundraising total.
A flexible window, with ordering opening as soon as your school is ready.
Schools can work at their own pace within the overall project window. Parent ordering opens for each school as soon as artwork has been submitted and parent letters have been distributed.
Designed to feel reassuring to schools.
Founded by Lara Rose, Young Artists Anthology is built around a school-managed workflow, optional family ordering, and clear information whenever a school needs GDPR or safeguarding detail.
Does every pupil need to take part?
No. Schools can include the year groups or classes that suit them best.
Do families have to buy a copy?
No. Ordering is optional and handled directly by Young Artists Anthology.
Do teachers need to design the book?
No. We take care of the layout, production and ordering journey.
Can we include more than one year group?
Yes. Many schools include multiple classes or several year groups in one anthology.
Do you need the original artwork?
No. Schools upload scans or photos, so children can keep their original work.
How much admin is involved?
Very little. Schools create the work and upload it; we handle the rest.
A very small amount of admin.
Trial one year group or the whole school.
Schools do not need to commit the whole school straight away. A single year group is completely fine, and there is no minimum number of pupils or minimum book order.
