Children and Young People

Children’s Art Club
Ages 8 to 13 years

Do you have a child interested in art? Focal Point Gallery Children’s Art Club forms an introduction to the artists and exhibitions in the gallery’s rolling programme, and helps children engage in practical workshops within the exhibition space. In these events, children try out new skills, explore materials, and develop their critical abilities in an encouraging and open atmosphere. Each short course consists of five sessions and takes place on Saturdays between 10.30am and 12.30pm. Children can either attend single session or parents can book five in a row.
