The Visioning Group can't wait to host their first activity day at Leeds Art Gallery next Tuesday ✨

These fun, family-friendly art activities are taking place in Artspace alongside Pyramid's artistic response, Pyramid View On... John Atkinson Grimshaw. Attendees will get a chance to participate in all three activities that were created by the Visioning Group:

🪟What do you see in the window?

Inspired by John Atkinson Grimshaw’s paintings of buildings at night-time, the group was inspired to create their own sculptural silhouette, illustrating colourful “windows”. Attendees are welcome to create their own “windows’ to add to this collaborative art piece.

🎭 Shadow puppets

Inspired by the beautiful silhouettes that appear throughout Grimshaw’s night-time paintings, the group made silhouettes from black card and enjoyed casting shadows with their creations and creating stories around these. Attendees are welcome to join in and create their own shadow puppets - the lighting in Artspace is perfect for bringing them alive!

✏️ Drawing prompts

Visioning group member James loves writing lists. Grimshaw’s paintings inspired him to make a huge, beautiful list which is written on a watercolour background decorated like the night sky. Every word from James’ list is in a top hat. Attendees are welcome to reach in to select a drawing prompt and create a picture inspired by James’ vivid imagination.

🗓️ 25 November 2025 (1-3pm)
📍 Artspace, Leeds Art Gallery, The Headrow, LS1 3AA

If you can’t make a session, you can find instructions for the activities and materials in the Artspace while the artistic response is running!
