Children’s Art Club is our artist-led creative programme for 5–12-year-olds that runs during school holidays. With a different Lead Artist each week, participants are introduced to different art forms and creative thinking that encourages them to fully express themselves in a joyful space. Art activities often connect to our outdoor spaces as well as inside and think about our themes of art, ecology and sustainability. Activity planned by the lead artist encourages thinking, playfulness and creativity by exploring different art forms and responding to the children’s interests. Join Eva Jack for a week of hands-on history, where we will bury a time capsule in the garden at Forgan Arts. We will collect and create artefacts and stories, blurring the lines between the real and imagined, the past and future! Eva Jack is an artist and creative facilitator based in Glasgow. She is interested in walking and collecting as a way to explore place and memory. DetailsWhat: Art, play, nature and learning for 5-12 year olds.
