Saturday Gallery Art Club is your opportunity to get creative, explore art hands-on, and take inspiration from our latest exhibitions to create your own work

Open to everyone, each session is supported by our friendly Learning Team as they hold the space for you to work independently or with your friends and family.

With all materials provided, you get the opportunity to create in whatever medium you find most interesting or exciting. This includes paints, clay, drawing materials, printmaking, collage, and more. Either take up something you already enjoy or try something completely new!

Every session is free with booking required, however drop-ins are welcome. There is no pressure to attend every week or all of the sessions, just join in whenever you want to.

This seasons Art Club will explore the works of ‘Angélica Teuta: Inner Jungle [Putumayo]‘. Angélica creates art based on the concept of ‘Emotional Architecture’, building common spaces through emotions, human connections and creativity. The Colombian artist’s work goes beyond the visible structures of walls and buildings. In the gallery, Angélica uses series of overhead projectors to compose a jungle scene from Putumayo, a region in Colombia, made from tree silhouettes in cardboard, papers and coloured acrylic sheets moved by computer fans. As the layers are superimposed, the viewer is transported to a natural yet enchanting environment. Our Learning Team will show you around the exhibition and provide points of inspiration.

Saturday Gallery Art Club is located in our Salmon Gallery. An accessible space curated by our Learning Team, the gallery is inspired by our exhibitions and features free art materials, interactive sensory objects, and a library of available books for a range of ages. The space also includes aircon, a heating system, and a variety of seating options and height-adjustable tables.

Note: When booking tickets, please book the accurate amount of children and adults coming to each workshop. Adults must stay with their children at all times.
