Play with Portraits
For children aged 5–12 years and their families
Whose portrait will be in your gallery of the future? Could it be you? Join us at the Portrait Gallery every afternoon this February half-term for hands-on art making and play with our friendly Artist Team. We’ll be taking inspiration from The Modern Portrait exploring the past and present to create portraits fit for the future!
