Outline
'In this project you will work alongside curators, learning and engagement staff, and professional artists at Manchester
Art Gallery (MAG) and the Whitworth. You will gain first-hand experience of gallery public engagement with a wide
range of age groups, and activities. You will assist during schools art workshops in the gallery; observe gallery
educators at work with particular communities; and plan a public engagement evening event. You will bring your
different art and design pathways together to think about potential engagement activities in response to the special
exhibitions. This will culminate in a gallery takeover event for Thursday Late, which is open to the public. During
March-May 2015 MAG’s special exhibitions are Eastern Exchange (contemporary craft and design from East Asia)
and Design for Modern Living (a fine art & design show based on MAG’s collection since the 1930s)'.
