As part of Circuit, Young@Tate is a regular FREE event where Tate St Ives invites creative people aged between 15 and 25 to enjoy a range of workshops and activities.
This Young@Tate, the theme is #TateFiction, inspired by surrealism in the current Tate St Ives exhibition. All are welcome to drop in any time between 11.00 and 15.00 to explore, create, discuss, question and collaborate. You can participate or be the audience, and you’ll get the chance to meet and work with artists and the Tate Collective group. No knowledge or experience is necessary, just an enthusiasm for art and creativity.
Come to the gallery and sign up on the day to take part – no booking required.
Upload images of your Young@Tate visit, or your own surreal artworks, on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook using #TateFiction, @tatecollectives. We'll be re-posting some of our favourites.
