Artist Sir Frank Bowling OBE RA and CIRCA have completed the first phase of the CIRCA PIPELINE, delivering free art materials and a six-week curriculum to 32 state primary schools across London. The initiative provided 7,152 children with professional supplies, including canvases and paints, to address a reported decline in UK school arts funding.
