Portrait Palace is the culmination of five month’s work by Year 5 and 6 children from Spinney Hill and Sandfield Close Primary Schools and from Braunstone Frith Junior School.
Inside you will find a dazzling collection of portraits large and small – paintings, drawings, collages and photographs, as well as sculptures in wire and clay.
Come and see who’s there – you might even find yourself – and have a go at making your own piece of artwork too!
The Creative Exchange project offers young people the opportunity to work with a cultural organisation on a real life creative challenge. It will provide an exciting and innovative approach to work experience, allowing schools the opportunity to engage with cultural organisations in a different way. As part of this project 17 schools are working with 10 cultural organisations across Leicester, Derby and Northamptonshire.
The Mighty Creatives delivers the Creative Exchange project as part of the governments’ flagship creative learning programme, Creative Partnerships.
The programme brings together creative workers such as artists, architects and scientists into schools to work with teachers to inspire young people and to help them learn.
