We have also selected work that we think will appeal to our younger visitors and invite them to respond to our fun quiz about the exhibition as a whole.  Brendan Egan, Learning and Education Scholar has put together a self-guided tour on selected works in the exhibition.   WinterJoy Self Guided notes (1,713 Kb)

Featured in the HUB Space is the response by Educate Together students to Charles Harper’s Retrospective exhibition at LCGA in January 2020.   This body of work is the response from these students to a talk that Charles Harper gave to them in January 2020.  

In addition, there is also some online activity for families and art lovers alike. Let us know through #LCGAWINTERJOY  (Instagram & twitter) 

It was a bumpy year for everyone but I hope you have had the opportunity to enjoy some of the exhibitions we put on during the year.
