Saturday Art Club

Exploring Identities

Let's get creatively empowered in the Main Gallery with Saturday Art Club. For these special iterations, you can use the space and wall of the gallery to make and to display your creations! Play, explore, and learn about yourselves and the world around you through arts and craft activities.

Kickstarting a new season of Saturday Art Club, join Associate Artist Chantelle Fagan-Clarke to make life-size cardboard cutouts. Inspired by artist Arit Etukudo's creative practice, which focuses on Identity and the human form, decorate your cutouts with a collage of images, words, stickers, leaves and other found items representing you and your family.

In response to 4UBU, we are inspired by the framework of the Black supplementary school movement from the 1960s supporting Black British children, organised on a volunteer basis by parents, teachers, churches and community groups. Be a part of our SAC community, where we value the cultures and knowledge generated from children and families not taught within school curriculums. On reflection of the benefit of grassroots and community-led education that sits outside formal mainstream schooling, these accessible creative workshops should provide an opportunity for the whole family to learn new skills, use their pre-existing knowledge, and learn about aspects of Black culture.
