Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts recently staged a family fun day - in the centre of activities such as Fabulous Beast Face painting and an opportunity to make your own jungle drum was the Gallery Safari - and Studio were pleased to design and sponsor a unique map for this special event.
Children used the Safari Map to discover the many animal exhibits located around the collection and decorate the map with stickers once found. And along the trail, learn interesting facts (did you know Boars can leap 4 feet in the air?) while being distracted by word searches and pics to colour-in. Complimented by illustrations by Gary Laidlow, it was a real treat for the children taking part - as tested and approved by my two kids Billy and Evie.
The theme of the day was linked with the city wide summer art project Go Elephants! and despite it being too wet to play outside, the event was a great success and the map proved to be an interesting new way for kids to explore the Robert and Lisa Sainsbury Collection.
If you missed the event, don't worry - there is a superb Constructivist exhibition at SCVA which runs until December, plus Kabir Hussain's Mapping Norfolk exhibition is worth a visit too, pick up your Studio designed Gallery Guide and enjoy, but get a move on - it ends 31 August.
