Greenford Quay , Arts with ARTification

Immerse yourself in engaging arts experiences

Eco Arts:  Over the Summer ARTifications artists will create art inspired by the unique Greenford Quay, canal side location.  Drawing inspiration from the natural world, waterways, ecological and environmental subject matter, we will make and install art for all to enjoy. Art generated will include a mural, sculpture, and environmentally sensitive installations in the form of: 3D Animals, Hanging Dragonflies; Bird boxes and Heron Mural.

Art Trail Walks: Art in unexpected places can be discovered and explored through guided walks & talks, concluding with make & take art activity on Saturday 15^th August & Saturday 12^th September. Our ARTi walk leader will take you on a journey exploring the eco-art trail installations, their inspiration, themes, materials, techniques, locations & impact along the Art Trail from Horsenden Hill Farm to Greenford Quay.  The guided art walks will provide participants with the creative art experience whilst observing social distancing.

Art Workshops: The walks conclude at the Greenford Quay canal side site with an art workshop where participants are invited explore inspiration from the art & the environment with hands on workshops: Make and take home your own craft. Guided by our artists, the (social distanced) art activity will support participants to make a hand held dragon fly, or decorate their own bird box.
