Workshops and Activities For Schools and Colleges
As well as free talks
and interpretation materials, the gallery programmes a number of
educational events around each exhibition and these can include
artist talks, workshops, video showings and open-to-the-public art
displays. These events can be specifically tailored for particular
school and college groups, and can organised to fit into school/college
timetables and to suit specific age groups, abilities and courses.
Wherever possible all talks and events take place in the gallery
exhibition area, allowing full integration of the activities into
interpretation and learning about the artworks.
