Every Thursday, grab your curiosity and meet us in the Creative Space before heading out into the galleries for inspiration. Then, itβs off to the Nature Station to forage for materials and craft a one-of-a-kind piece of land art inspired by Expanding Landscapes. Weβll even snap a pic of your creation to feature in our gallery displays!
