ART AND HISTORY COLLIDE AT THE WISBECH AND FENLAND MUSEUM
To
launch the call for submissions for their latest project, the Young
Curators’ Forum is proud to present a free creative workshop with
Fenland Poet Laureate Leanne Moden and Lead Young Curator Brandon
Mattless.
The
project has been made possible with support from local arts
organisation Atelier East and the Cambridgeshire based charity, Young
Lives.
The
workshop is suitable for adults and children over 11, and participants
will be invited to use museum artifacts as a creative springboard,
writing short stories, drawing pictures and composing poems based on
their response to the objects and displays.
Leanne
and Brandon will lead a series of activities designed to help get the
creativity flowing, and there’ll also be plenty of time to look around
the museum for inspiration.
The workshop runs from 10:00am to 12:00pm on Saturday 11th May at the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, Museum Square, Wisbech.
Participation is free, but places are allocated on a first come, first
serve basis, so please call the museum on 01945 583817, or email info@karen-harvey.co.uk to book your place.
The
Young Curator’s Forum will also be putting together a booklet of
creative work celebrating the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, and they’d
like to hear from you.
Submissions
can be in the form of poems, short stories or drawings, but all must be
based on or inspired by the collections at the Wisbech and Fenland
Museum. Adults and children of all ages are welcome to enter. Please
send your submission to infor@karen-harvey.co.uk
with your name, contact telephone number, and the name of the museum
artifact that inspired you. The closing date for submissions is Friday 31st May 2013.
