Future Folk Youth Art Sessions

Future Folk Youth Art Sessions are running at GASP! in the Eastgate Shopping Centre from 8 October to 10 December, part of the wider Future Folk Project that carries on through to Christmas. The whole thing is built around young people making their own artworks and costumes, which then feature in a film shot across Eastgate and Greyfriars during half-term, with public artworks displayed around the city alongside it. You work with professional artists throughout, and the project is supported by funding from Together Gloucester and The Youth Fund.

At Eastgate, GASP! is hosting two new youth art groups. The GASP! Collective runs on Wednesdays from 10am to 12pm and is for 16 to 25-year-olds. The City Art Group meets on Thursdays from 3.30pm to 5.30pm and is for 12 to 16-year-olds. There's also a regular Matson Art Busters group running on Wednesdays from 3.30pm to 5.30pm at Matson library, also for 12 to 16-year-olds, so you've got a couple of options depending on where you are and when you can make it.

Between the two Eastgate groups, there's a session for the older end of the youth bracket on Wednesday mornings and one for the younger end on Thursday afternoons, with the Matson group running at the same time as the City Art Group but over in Matson. Child tickets are free.
