SPLIT, the first exhibition created and curated by our group of young artists, Creative Youth has almost finished installation and will open this weekend. We hope to welcome various people over the week and share this brilliant work by young people from the region. More to follow…
This half term our Creative Youth group has been busy creating two new pieces and learning all about the basics of curating. They put this newfound knowledge to good use by curating, and largely installing by themselves, their first-ever show, SPLIT.
The exhibition is a thoughtful showcase exhibiting some of the work they have created through the last nine months, both individually, and as a collective. It spans various media and art forms and demonstrates the progression many of them have made through the year.
The exhibition will be opening this Saturday and running for a week, open for several days and culminating in a special celebration event next Saturday.
It’s been a busy half term at our Creative Youth group and we’re so proud of the work undertaken by our group. Over the last few sessions the girls learnt how to make willow lantern ghosts which we hung in the windows of SPACE next to our black cat lantern head. A couple of the girls also helped group facilitator, Beth with creating a giant witches hate lantern for Halloween.
As always we’re very proud of the progress our group members are making and are looking forward to welcoming them back for Christmas term. Beth promised the group they could start working on Christmas decorations and goodies after the Half Term Break and so we’ll be back on Thursday and the now growing group will be working on making dried citrus fruit swags for use over the festive season.
We’ve got loads more great workshops for home ed young people over this half term that is run on a voluntary basis with only a small contribution to materials, so if you have a home educated adolescent who’d like to make new friends and develop their creative skills, get in touch about coming along to our Thursday sessions!
