Project
In the Frame & In My Liverpool Home Exhibition
Description
In The Frame is a Mencap project that has been happening with Tate Liverpool since 2006, sponsored by Nokia. The In the Frame group of 10 people with a learning disability have produced The Art Lover's Guide, you can download it for free here.
The group also ran an art exhibition called In My Liverpool Home (14-19 November). It was at Tate Liverpool and was sponsored by the Liverpool Culture Company as part of Liverpool 08. See the artwork here.
The group has been shortlisted for an award for their work, find out more here.
The In the Frame group have devised and are curating In My Liverpool Home. They helped run art workshops around Liverpool in September to help people who wanted to send in artwork. Over 100 entries were sent in and the group had a hard job picking a shortlist. In My Liverpool Home shows a fantastic range of paintings, photography, models, crafts, ceramics and video.
The Art Lover's Guide is all about enjoying art, whether or not you are an artist. Each member of the group says what they like about art in the guide. They give tips about how to get more out of art and suggest ways that galleries and museums can get better at welcoming and involving people.
Our thanks to all the artists and the following for their support: the Blue Room project at the Bluecoat, Access to Heritage project (Liverpool Mencap), Moving On With Life & Learning (MOWLL), First Step, and our sponsors Nokia and Liverpool 08! Tate Liverpool has been a fantastic partner throughout, devoting staff time and resources to help the project succeed. Click the weblink below to find out more about Tate Liverpool.
