Dear All
My name is Sue Goodwin and I am currently evaluating a project at The
Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester called ŒThe Art Treasure Chest¹. The
Treasure Chest is a specially designed resource for children and adults with
special educational needs. The Treasure Chest is large and free standing. It
is placed in a gallery where groups of up to 12 can explore the Gallery¹s
collection through the use of items within the chest. The items include
costumes, masks, puzzles materials for drawing and small artefacts from the
collection.
I would like to hear of any projects or events that create (workshop)
opportunities for children or adults with special needs to explore a
collection in a museum or gallery setting.
Many thanks.
Sue Goodwin.
