How can people from different generations be connected by artworks?
Young children and older adults have spent time together in community workshops exploring themes in the 'Picturing Excess' exhibition.
Come along to our drop in celebration to find out what we've been learning, and take part in creative activities yourself.
There will be music, sensory exploration, and art making.
Everybody - from babies to older adults - is welcome.
