Blackpool and Fylde schools will be exhibiting their best artwork at the Grundy Art Gallery from the 28th of Jan to the 3rd March. If your school would like to take part, please let the Grundy know before Christmas!!
As part of this exhibition, schools will also get the opportunity to work with artist, Brigitte Jurack on creating playful objects to form a section of the exhibition.
Schools can get involved in workshops in the gallery space led by the artist, creating artwork around the theme of toys and play. These workshops are suitable for all age groups and the artwork created in the workshops will form part of the exhibition in the gallery. There will be more information on this soon.
Jurack has shown her work all over the UK and Internationally, with recent artist residences at Museum of Modern Art Ireland and the British School in Athens and a solo show at Galleri Format in Olso.
I wish to explore how youth as a period of uncertainty and unstable identity is represented through sculpture. My own studio practice has increasingly been drawn towards notions of play and youth, both literally and performatively. Brigitte Jurack
