With a myriad of opportunities for students to participate in learning experiences that develop an international mindset, the ILOS Artists Programme offers a unique platform for aspiring young artists to showcase their work on a global stage.
Now in its second year, the programme has launched its latest Virtual Gallery, themed ‘My Imagination’. This virtual exhibition, made possible through collaborations with Kunstmatrix and Artsonia, features an impressive collection of over 150 artworks from talented students across 60+ ISP schools.
A Global Platform for Young Artists
Visitors can explore the exhibition as if stepping into a real-world gallery, with artwork displayed in virtual spaces inspired by three ISP schools:
Using state-of-the-art virtual technology, the exhibition allows viewers to navigate these carefully curated spaces, experiencing student artwork in an immersive and interactive way. Whether browsing from a computer or mobile device, art enthusiasts can engage with creative pieces that reflect diverse perspectives and artistic styles.
Developing Skills and Perspectives Through Art
The ILOS Artists Programme is more than just an exhibition. It provides students with a structured approach to developing their artistic talents, focusing on three key learning objectives:
- Knowledge: Exploring different artistic movements and their role in enabling individual and collective expression.
Skills: Using and applying a range of techniques and mediums for self-expression.
- Understanding: Developing a deeper awareness of their own thoughts, feelings, and perspectives through artistic projects.
By fostering these elements, the programme helps students build confidence in their creativity while developing skills that support both their academic and personal growth.
Spotlighting Student Talent
To further celebrate student creativity, the programme is running a fortnightly ‘Spotlight’ event on social media, showcasing standout pieces from the Virtual Gallery. Each feature highlights a student artist and shares their work with a wider audience, offering both recognition and inspiration for aspiring creatives.
A Vision for the Future
Daniela Porta, ILOS Artists Project co-lead, spoke about the initiative:
“As a global organisation, we are committed to ensuring that our students become confident life-long learners with an international outlook. The ILOS Artists Programme was created to give students the opportunity to explore their creativity and passion for art.”
Fellow project co-lead Josh Widdows highlighted the impact of the experience:
“With the chance to have their work selected for the ISP Artists Virtual Gallery, this programme is an incredibly exciting and rewarding opportunity. For many students, the journey from initial concept to having their work displayed for a global audience could be instrumental in shaping their future pathways.”

The ILOS Virtual Gallery will remain live until June 2025, offering visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in the imagination and talent of ISP students worldwide. Explore the gallery and discover how young artists are bringing their creativity to life on an international stage.
