Wish You Were Here: Visual Art Workshops 7 Mar 2020
In an age of Space Tourism, design posters and postcards of the “must-see” destinations of the solar system. Part of our Fly Me To The Moon visual art programme with Jole Bortoli.
Space Travel Tourism is upon us, with many “must-see” destinations across the solar system. We need young artists with original ideas to design posters to advertise these places and postcards to send back to Earth!
Following your tour of our Fly Me To The Moon space-themed displays, put your imagination to work to create images that will entice travellers to explore the cosmos in these drawing, painting and mixed media workshops.
