Exhibitions are closed but don’t worry – we are bringing the latest exhibition to you at home!
Currently in the West Gallery we have ‘The Great Leap Forward’ Exhibition. A group exhibition of work created by local school children from across the Island drawing inspiration from, and celebrating the Lift the Lid project and commissions.
Artists Ian Whitmore and Chris Jenkins worked with Island schools; St Saviours, Queensgate, Nine Acres, St Catherine’s, The Island Free School and Barton Primary to create work for this exhibition exploring heritage, culture and the theme of ‘The Future’.
First LTL Artist Commission – THE VENTNOR GIANT ✨
“The Ventnor Giant was the first commissioned artwork for the Lift the Lid project and was by the street artist Phlegm. I find it to be a most inspiring piece, just crying out for children to create new myths and legends key about https://gigglesgobblesandgulps.com/buy-avodart-online/ this marvellous creature with Ventnor on his back, which is why we asked storyteller Sue Bailey to work with schools on the Island to create new stories of the Giant. These stories will be available on a new website of the commissioned Artists’ Notebooks which is coming soon.” – Lift the Lid Project Manager, Sarah Girling.
