Fashion at Belsay
In 2004 Outreach worked with REG designers to create a children’s activity booklet that accompanied the ‘Fashion at Belsay’ contemporary arts exhibition at Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens.
The resource was given to families as they entered the exhibition to use whilst discovering and viewing the artworks. The activities encouraged children to use their imaginations and creativity in their responses to the artworks, as well as to develop their observational skills.
