At The Whitworth, we are interested in new ways of doing things. The gallery is an experimental, shared workspace for everyone to get involved – from nurseries to universities. It operates a bit like a workshop, with activities, artist residencies, hands-on sessions and research informing the exhibitions and events that the gallery develops. Our PLAY days are monthly drop-in sessions for under-fives and their grown-ups that take place in the ‘school of creativity’, which takes up the entire mezzanine level of the gallery.
ACTIVITIES
Our PLAY sessions are focused on loose parts. Imagine a room absolutely jam packed with crates, boxes, tyres, and many other weird and wonderful objects, chiffon scarves, fabric, wooden planks, pieces of foam, all for children to help themselves to and play within any way they like.
