David, wearing a bright green football jersey with his name and the number 40 on the back, sits on a chair in a museum gallery sketching on a clipboard. He is positioned in front of a wall display titled 'EVERY LINE IS ME,' surrounded by framed artwork. The atmosphere is calm and focused, emphasising creativity and engagement with the artwork.

Visual Arts Sessions: Nature in the City

During this 6-week course we will be responding to exhibits in Salford Museum and Gallery, to explore the theme of nature in the city. We will be creating our own artworks based on our own observations.

Four people sitting in a semi-circle on chairs in a brightly lit room. The person on the far left is holding a small object, possibly a spoon, and appears to be speaking. The second person, wearing an illustrated black T-shirt and orange trainers, gestures with their hand while speaking. The third person, in a blue jacket and glasses, sits cross-legged and smiles. The person on the far right, in a blue long-sleeve top, holds up a silver reflective sheet. The background features a wooden door, a recycling bin, and a kitchen area.

DIY BUDS: The Escape Room

This term DIY BUDS will be focusing on teamwork and storytelling. Together we will create a story built up in sections, using an “Escape Room” structure.  At each stage of the story we will have to play a cooperative game – how well can we work together as a team to unlock the next stage of the story?  

Sessions will start back on Thursday 1 May. Then each session will take place every Thursday afternoon, 1pm to 3pm at Salford Museum and Art Gallery, Peel Park, The Crescent, Salford, M5 4WU

Please note there will be no sessions on 29 May and 5 June.

DIY BUDS is funded by Salford ICP with support from Salford CVS
