The 'A Play Laboratory' project will use the grant to bring together a diverse group of young people facilitated by lead artist Andrea Francke and four other contemporary artists to explore publishing, play-space construction, toy design and fabrication. The project will work in partnership with Sure Start and local schools involving children aged 2-10 years of age. It will introduce children to art in a gallery environment and will culminate in an open day and an exhibition/celebration on the city walls.
