A free interactive digital art exhibition for children.
4th - 9th July 2017
Cantor Gallery, Cantor Building, 153 Arundel Street, Sheffield, S1 2NU
A week long exhibition of specially commissioned interactive digital art pieces, games, brand new apps and virtual reality headsets for children and families to play with. With digital crafts and hands-on activities and workshops.
Most of the time when you go to a traditional Art Gallery you are asked to look with your eyes and not touch. At this exhibition we're going to let you touch the art. In fact we insist.
The exhibition has been curated for 5-12 year olds, however everyone is welcome to drop-in during the gallery’s opening hours and it is FREE!
If you’d like to bring a group you must book your trip in ADVANCE with Cassie Kill
