Do play, make, rest and experiment in the Foyle Studio this holiday

Our holiday studio programme creates immersive installations and play-based activities that offer self-directed art experiences for children, parents and carers. Each STUDIO DO responds to the themes and broader art movements of our exhibitions and collection displays, while providing a space to test out making, experiment with ideas and take time out from the galleries. Make, play, rest, and use the studio in your own way to explore art at Tate St Ives.

This summer explore the work of Liliane Lijn and Emma Critchley through light, shape and reflections in our Foyle Studio, which has been transformed into an immersive space for creative play. Project colours on to the walls and interact with sensory shapes, jellyfish and patterns to help think about how artists use light in their work.

Have fun exploring the galleries at Tate St Ives with our Explorer Backpacks and Tate Shapes activities or draw and explore with a free Sketchbook or Art Explorer card.

Tate St Ives is located on Porthmeor Beach. There is a ramp up to the gallery entrance alongside stairs with a handrail.

There are lifts to all Levels of the gallery, or alternatively you can take the stairs.

  • Accessible and standard toilets are on Level 3, next to Gallery 6.
  • A Changing Places toilet is on Level 3, next to Gallery 1.
  • Ear defenders can be borrowed from the information desk.
