Nottingham Contemporary

You are warmly invited to Create and Connect; an event encouraging playful creativity and social connection.

The afternoon will be filled with interesting activities to encourage thinking, playing, looking and moving in different ways. Guided by staff and artists, visitors will try newly created activities inspired by the themes within our current gallery exhibition 'Hollow Earth'; a show exploring the real and mythical uses and meanings of caves and underground spaces, of both our past and future.

This is an inclusive community event which aims to offer an opportunity to informally improve general mood and wellbeing through art, movement and connection to other people.

We will be joined on the day by several organisations offering signposting to a range of local health and wellbeing services.
