Due to the national lockdown our building is closed to the public until further notice. We are continuing to bring art and creativity directly to you through our Brain Fresh emails – sign up to our mailing list here.

Can’t wait for an email? Our website is jampacked with fun and free online activities to keep you creative, help you think differently and escape into your imagination – Jump to Art Online
