Hi
In 2014-15 Islington Museum received funding from the Arts Council England to explore how museums and arts organisations could work in partnership to creatively re-imagine collections with young people. We oversaw
3 highly creative projects in local Islington secondaries using art and music to explore collections.
On the 14th July 6pm-8pm we’re holding a free, practical and creative skills sharing session educators at the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art. Wine and nibbles are provided.
In this event you will be able to
Attend two 30 minute artist-led practical workshops inspired by our project. You can choose from the following:
·
Exploring the postal past through mail art, led by All Change
·
Re-imagining a local history collection through music, led by musicians from the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment
·
Bringing an art collection to life for young people with Moderate Learning Difficulties, led by Cubitt Arts
At the end of each workshop, you’ll receive an ideas bank exploring how you could adapt these creative ideas for your setting.
You’ll also have the opportunity to put any questions to our panel of project partners, including the British Postal Museum and Archive, the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art, Cubitt, All Change and the
Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.
Finally you’ll receive a copy of our Skills Sharing document to take home, including Case Studies of all our projects.
All the information is on the attached flyer and you can book at
https://eventbrite.co.uk/event/17148910854/
Do come along for an evening of refreshments, networking and creative inspiration.
If you cannot make the 14th July but would still like to come I have also attached the flyer for the same event on the 7th July 4pm-6pm. This event is targeted at teachers but is also suitable
for educators.
Thanks
Rebecca
