New exhibition at the Novium Museum in Chichester

This month a new exhibition is on show at Chichester's Novium Museum.

With the aim of bring the local community closer together, young artists from the area have created pieces of art. 

The Novium Museum in Chichester is showing a new exhibition which started this month to inspire the local community. 

The new art installation will be showing in Chichester until Saturday, 18 February 2023.

A total of 150 young people from the district have created pieces for the exhibit which were made over the summer months as part of a number of free creative workshops. 

The sessions were set up and managed by Article 12 Arts at The Novium Museum.

The organisation encouraged young people of diverse abilities and backgrounds  to all work together to collectively discover a new creative voice as they represent the community.

The art work created was made by young people from the ages of 7 to 25 years old. 

All those involved were given the brief of 'The Art of Chichester:60 Years of Creativity', which tells the story of how the arts have put Chichester and surrounding areas the map.

The art is made in a range of different mediums and installation, sculpture and storytelling, with the help of professionals and local creatives. 

The young participants, who included asylum seekers supported by Sanctuary in Chichester, were introduced to the themes of the exhibition, and invited to explore their own responses to identity and place through the different artistic mediums. 

The project was made possible thanks to an Arts Council England Project Grant and generously supported by Chichester Arts Society Evening.

The funding from Arts Council England has also enabled a series of free creative family days running at  the Novium Museum 

These family days encourage family groups of all ages to explore their creative sides by taking part in a series of craft activities from still life drawing and creative writing, to origami and flower crowns.

The Art of Chichester Family Days will run on Saturdays 15th and 29th October, and 12th and 26thNovember. Admission is free. 

Admission is free.
