Community Kids' Creations

Yes, the kids also have their hands up to be part of the Serpentine community. During school holidays, local budding artists bring their drawings, sculptures and the other artistic products of their holiday exploits down to the gallery. These artworks adorn walls, windows and display cases for short periods, and hopefully (when we locate the pictures) some of them'll soon be adorning this webpage. Here too will be a selection of photos of the chalk street murals that spontaneously appear at openings.

It's lovely to see the next generation

in our local arts community

feeling free to express their creativity in a public arena.

The Serpentine Community Gallery endeavours to encourage, support and inspire

the younger artists of our community.

'Blutak Portrait of Rin'

by Magenta

- Made at the Serpentine, June 2011

The opening of Robert Cottam's 2009 solo exhibition

The Everyday saw the kids getting arty with chalk.

"Nemo in Antarctic Waters corner"

When we held the first Toy exhibition, back in 2007, a local youngster, much inspired by the show

and feeling right at home at this community gallery, checked with the gallery and their mum and dad

 then proceeded to make a number of "fully laden" trips to and from their home

to create this impromptu and greatly enjoyed toy installation.

Thank-you to all of yo!

u who make it into these pages.
