Bath
Fringe Visual Arts Activity Trail for Children |
|
For
those aged up to 12 years (sorry, adults!)
Fun, prizes, and a chance at artistic fame!
Young people love art – they love making it and they love
looking at it (they often understand it a lot better than grown-ups).
Here is a chance to do both at once and to win yourself one
of two great prizes:
• A FREE family visit to the Toy
Exhibition at the American Museum, Bath
• A complete art set from Minerva Arts – all you’ll
need to keep you inspired for the year!
• Something gorgeous from Minerva Chocolate
PLUS you get to make your own masterpiece in response to the
exhibitions, and it will be displayed in the foyer at Green
Park Station during the rest of the Festival, where it will
be seen by thousands of people.
To take part, simply pick up an activity sheets from any of
the exhibitions listed on the previous page, follow the trail,
answer the questions, make your own art work on the back (it
can be a painting, drawing, collage – whatever takes your
fancy), and post it in the Children’s Art Trail letterbox
in the foyer of Green Park Station (by the Brasserie). Your
work will be up on the wall within 24 hours and you’ll
be entered for the prize draw. It’s that easy. Young children
will need to be accompanied by an adult (they might just enjoy
it too!) |

Celebrating
the alternative and exploring the fringes, Bath Fringe Arts
are working with inpatients in Bath’s Hillview Lodge Hospital.
During the festival fortnight we will run a series of art workshops
at Hillview in photography, drawing, creative writing, digital
photography, and painting.
Providing an expressive outlet, and a space to develop new skills,
the project will also explore the issue of social exclusion.
Does mental illness exist? Or is it simply deviance from what
is “wanted” or “expected”? Having gained
Awards For All funding, the workshops will be run in conjunction
with the creation of a publication.
Shortly after the Fringe the publication will be available from
most of Bath’s Charity shops at a small cost, or for free
by sending a S.A.E. to Art Publication, Visual Arts, Fringe
Office, 103 Walcot St, Bath, BA1 5BW |
