Exhibition at Kingston Museum
A unique exhibition where you tell your story through art… in a box!As part of Kingston Summer Art Season 2009, Kingston Museum is proud to present this exciting and innovative exhibition: My Life in a Box. Visitors will not only be able to witness art in action as our art gallery is transformed into a working studio space, but also to become both exhibit and exhibitor. Groups and individuals will use the gallery space to produce artwork which represents aspects of their lives, but with one catch - it must all fit inside a box! A series of artist led workshops will help people design and create their ‘Life in a Box’ artwork.
The completed artworks will then be added to the growing exhibition in the gallery to provide an inspirational backdrop for further workshops. We will be holding timetabled workshops for established groups, and open access drop-in workshops on Saturdays for visitors who wish to participate, so come along! Get creative inside the box by thinking outside the box!
Workshops run from 13th June. Exhibition opens to the public on 27th June until 18th July.
Opening hours: daily 10-5 except Wednesdays and Sundays. Admission FREE
