Marking a Mark: Museums and Galleries Month 08 @ Leeds Art Gallery

As part of our introduction to the Gallery’s new place for doing and thinking things, Artspace, a series of free half-day experiences led by Drama Artist Hannah Farley for families and young people.

For Families…

Pass it on!

3 May 10.30 - 12.30

18 May 2.00 - 4.00

Drop-in anytime

What stories would you like to be remembered by? What stories have you inherited from your family? An interactive experience to gather and share stories sparked by the galleries artworks. Families will work together to leave their artistic mark in the form of words spoken or written.

For Very Young People and their Carers…

You're never too young to have an adventure

23 May, 10.00am – 12.00noon

Drop-in anytime

With a suitcase packed full of mysterious objects, we're going to make a journey around the globe to leave behind the marks as Gallery footprints. We will explore stories, fight art monsters, climb trees, wade through water and hide in caves. We will listen to music, wiggle our bodies, make lots of noise and maps of our adventures.  Carers please bring your sunglasses and something to keep the insects away!

For a youth group or individual young people…

Have you got something to say?

20 May, timing organised to suit

Booking necessary

Want your voice to be heard? A drama/creative writing opportunity linked to Gallery artworks to focus, explore and then express ideas in a way that really stands out. Bring a small object that tells a story about you.
