Families can drop-in and stay for ten minutes or an hour – it’s up to you! Victoria can also help you complete our free activity sheets. Aprons are available but activities won’t be very messy. Materials are provided free of charge, but donations are welcome.
Free – drop-in between 11am – 2pm
Dates: 8 and 22 Feb, 7 and 21 March
Due to growing concerns over Coronavirus, our Family Takeover session on 21 Mar will not be going ahead. We apologise for any disappointment caused.
Our current exhibition Mariner is a group show inspired by one of the most influential poems in the English language, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834), Mariner looks at what connects us across history and the present, from the desire to travel – to journey out and back again – to the role of intuition and imagination.
Please be aware two of the films in the exhibition contain nudity.
We’ve been coming to Family Takeover for a year now and just want to say how much we love it. Great ideas for kids’ art beyond basic colouring, and always nicely tied in with the exhibitions. Good way to introduce kids to art in wider context that way too. Also, great therapy for mum!
