WANTED: ART DETECTIVES.
CAN YOU LOOK AT ART? ARE YOU ABLE TO THINK?
We need families to investigate our latest exhibition Prefab Paradise. On the 15th July 2026 at 1pm it landed in the middle of Turf Projects. Why is it here? Who sent it and what is it trying to say? With mysteries to unlock, we need detectives to solve these many questions. With your own case file and your lead detective, Michael Crowe from Spaghetti Club, join in writing exercises exploring small worlds sent from the future and a train going round and round…
This workshop is a Turf Projects Family Art Fun Day – offering children and their families a chance to make and play together. Art Detectives is a creative writing and drawing workshop, offering a fun way to explore art and respond to it, so families can look at, interpret and enjoy art together. This workshop is appropriate for 7+ ages.
