Off The Canvas at Guildhall Art Gallery
Artis Foundation invite your school to join them in a free workshop (for up to 30 children) in the beautiful exhibition space at the Guildhall Art Gallery. Investigate a Victorian painting, through the performing arts, led by an experienced Artis Specialist. Bring art to life as the children step into the shoes of the artist, embarking on a journey of exploration in an imaginative, practical and fun way. This adventure will give children an awareness of the historical and geographical context of the gallery’s Victorian paintings, as well as immerse them in a story of discovery. Suitable for Key Stages 1 & 2 with strong links to English, Maths, Geography, History, Science, Physical Education and Art & Design. Cost Artis Foundation and Guildhall Art Gallery are delighted to offer these free workshops (for up to 30 children). This has been made possible through funding from The City of London Corporation. If you need to cancel your visit, please email tap@artisfoundation.org.uk at the earliest opportunity. If you do not cancel within three weeks of the workshop date, or fail to show on the day, the school is liable to pay a £50 fee which will be invoiced to you. Lunch information Food and drink is not permitted inside the Gallery or Amphitheatre. Picnic lunches can be eaten in Guildhall Yard or in nearby green spaces. Occasionally the Guildhall Gallery can offer group spaces to eat in their cloakroom area but this cannot be guaranteed and must be booked in advance (and is subject to last minute cancellation). How to get there Guildhall is just minutes from Bank, Mansion House and St Paul's underground stations and a short walk from Cannon Street, Moorgate and Liverpool Street underground and rail stations.
