The House of Fairy Tales
Salisbury Arts Centre's exhibition and workshop activities during August will be presented with The House of Fairy Tales.
The House of Fairy Tales was set up in 2007 by the artist Gavin Turk and the writer Deborah Curtis to produce large and small scale events celebrating and promoting creative education. Working with an expanding network of visual artists, theatre performers and musicians, as well as creative mathematicians, inventors, engineers and scientists their aim is to equip the next generation with the imagination needed for their future on the planet.
Past projects have seen an installation at The New Art Gallery in Walsall featuring artefacts, drawings, notes, photographs, films and curios inspired by Cabinets of Curiosities and a residency outside Tate Modern including activities such as sewing, exploring silhouettes and shadow puppets, visiting a witch's gingerbread house and learning to dance around a maypole. Their residency will offer activities for all ages in a playful celebration of homemade culture.
