The CCA Art Bus is a mobile art gallery and a recognised work of art in itself, designed by ''The Godfather of British Pop Art'' Sir Peter Blake. Flaunting four sides of pop art iconography and classic Blake imagery, this rock 'n' roll tour bus visits schools, communities, festivals, galleries, and art events across the country, and regularly features in the annually celebrated Lord Mayor's Show.
 
LEARNING THROUGH ART
 

Decorated with nostalgic motifs and childhood characters, the Art Bus strives to appeal to all ages and seeks to encourage an all-embracing, fun, and practical perspective of the art world. The bus aims to make the visual arts more accessible in every sense, often visiting schools in inner-city areas and those that specialise in learning difficulties. As an educational facility, students are welcome aboard with a chance to design their own model art bus and engage in question and answer sessions with artists live from the studio via the bus's satellite links. This unique experience provides an insight into printmakers such as Peter Blake himself.
