While the Laing Art Gallery is closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we'll be sharing some activities you can try at home.
Until we can re-open, one of our team, Sarah, who helps make our Little Artists sessions happen every week, has worked with her daughter, Grace, to make a series of videos showing activities you can try at home with your own little artists. Thank you to Sarah and Grace for making these!
