Wolverhampton Grand Theatre
major Community Art Project coming Autumn 2019!
WGT have again commissioned us to create a large-scale Community Artwork - with the help of a couple of hundred local Participants like these! Previous projects include a 2 storey high Giant for Jack & the Beanstalk, and a huge Magic Carpet for Aladdin.
What's it about?
The Artwork is being created to support this year's WGT Panto, Dick Whittington. It'll be displayed on WGT's main staircase, and be seen by hundreds of visitors.
What will Participants be making?
The finished Artwork will be a scene, starting in dank, dreary Gothic London. A path leads to a colourful, vibrant Marrakesh market place. Participants will make their part of this. It could be hairy, scary rats running from Dick Whittington's cat, or maybe splendid Moroccan slippers for sale on a Marrakesh market stall. Or they could be making part of London Bridge, the buildings and other decorative "props" that show Dick's journey to riches and success.
How will the Project run?
Participant Groups will be invited to enjoy a FREE Art & Craft Workshop at their location.
What will the Workshops be like?
We'll design your Workshop to suit the ages and abilities of your Group. One of our fully qualified, highly experienced Specialist Art & Design Teachers will help your Group make their part of the Scene. We'll provide all of the materials.
When's it happening?
Workshop dates available from August to November 2019. The finished Artwork will be installed in WGT in early December 2019. It'll be on Public display during the Panto Dick Whittington which runs into January 2020.
