Arts Unleashed is a hands-on week of Visual Art and Craft activities for young people. A chance to express yourself, go wild and make new friends!
The programme will be run by 4 local artists with whom the participants will explore the theme of ‘Your Kendal’, taking influence from the Young Artist Open Exhibition, showing at the time of the Summer Camp week. The participants will take part in a series of workshops, exploring a range of 2D & 3D media and ideas, such as painting and printmaking, as well as textiles and sculpture.
The work created will be shown in an exhibition at the end of the week in the Foyer Gallery. The Arts Unleashed Exhibition will be open to the public until mid-September. There will be a private view for family and friends on Friday 15 August from 2.30-3.30pm.
All young people will achieve a Discover Arts Award and receive a certificate from Trinity College London as part of the week.
Join us, meet new friends and old, and have something wonderful to exhibit at the end. Find out more about the exhibition here.

Tutors Info:
Lucy Wright is a Lake District-based fine artist and ceramicist whose work speaks of nature and the interplay between the wild and the human. Playful, delicate and infinitely beautiful, her work is intriguing and often whimsical with a warmth and humour which speaks to the heart. Lucy’s ceramic assemblage pieces are created through introducing often opposing, found and re-purposed objects to support or highlight a ceramic sculpture at the centre. Lucy studied fine art at Lancaster University, achieving a first-class degree and is now exhibiting in galleries across the country.
After studying Fine Art at university, Ciara Heaton left to pursue a career in community arts.
