87 Gallery Explorers

87 Gallery Explorers is an opportunity to be part of something new and unique in Hull. Being an Explorer means you will discover, investigate, collaborate, and make exciting art in a professional gallery.

Kids ages 7-16 can gather weekly with us in our brand new Studio, where they will have exclusive after-hours access to our exhibitions, and can get involved in a hands-on way.

What to expect:

– Develop fundamental skills from observational drawing and traditional processes through to 3D work and experimentation with CGI, video, sound, and more

– Develop personal outcomes with the guidance of our Engagement Producer – artist and qualified teacher Matt Fratson

– Gain insight into creative careers through collaboration with local and national artists and designers, plus exclusive trips and visits

– Explore ways of extending 2D work by using digital platforms from Creative Cloud through to game development and programming software to create powerful visual experiences

– Learn about new materials as well as innovative technologies and how they’re being used by contemporary artists

– Boost GCSE and A-Level/college coursework with opportunities for 1-1 work
