A visit to an art gallery with young children might sound like a daunting prospect but Art + Play has been designed with young visitors in mind. There’s no need to worry about your children touching the artwork - that’s exactly what we want them to do! The gallery will be filled with colours, sounds and textures for your children to explore and enjoy.
Eight artists have been commissioned to make work for this special exhibition. Before producing the work, each artist spent five days in a pre-school setting to develop a greater understanding of how children think, play, and create. The final ideas for the work have all been ‘road tested’ by children from the early years settings.
The exhibiting artists are: Linda Arkley, Lucy Fergus, Alex Hallowes and Pete Rogers, Kate Scully, Jason Taylor, and Kathryn and Rachel Welford.
Art + Play is a 20-21 Visual Arts Centre touring exhibition supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
