Fantastic Journeys
Now in its third year, our hugely popular annual Arts Share project for schools is back and with a brand-new theme, “Fantastic Journeys”. This year’s Arts Share will end with art exhibitions and performances at Green Arts Centre and other venues in July 2024. Who knows where our journey together will take us and what we could discover on the way.
Last year’s Arts Share, A New World featured 86 paintings, an immersive exhibition, a 40 minute theatre piece, a dance production and a public display at Canons House & Grounds. In 2024 we will take your pupils on a Fantastic Journey, inspiring them to create artworks, sculptures, collages or write poetry and prose and making a case for a MITCHAM YOUTH ARTS FESTIVAL in 2025.
FREE WORKSHOPS
With funding from Arts Council England, we are inviting your school to benefit from this exciting opportunity for YEAR 5-8 pupils. After a FREE ONE HOUR workshop lead by an experienced professional artist and held in your school in Spring Term, pupils will create artworks which will be professionally mounted and displayed as part of our ARTS SHARE EVENT in July 2024 at Green Arts Centre, Mitcham and other local venues. Pupils will be invited to see their works on display.
Places are limited! To book a FREE ONE HOUR workshop please contact;
