Join our learning team on the last Saturday of every month to explore Arnolfini’s exhibitions and events through exciting and engaging activities for families to do together.

Get creative and join in with engaging, fun, practical activities such as gigantic drawings, 3D collages and workshops with amazing artists.   Drop into our Light Studio and see what fantastic creations you can make!

Activities include:

  • Creating a cardboard city to play in
  • Mapping and printmaking on a large scale map
  • Designing a balloon to represent what you think of Bristol 
  • See the work on display in the Light Studio

Most suitable for ages 5+ but all ages are welcome to have a go.

Don’t forget our Family Film Screenings which take place on the same day between 11am-1pm and are free.

This event is part of The Promise. The Promise is an exhibition project that focuses on the relationship between a city’s design and the hopes and ambitions of its residents. Exhibitions and events will take place in the Arnolfini galleries and across the city of Bristol throughout the summer.
