Ideas in the Making: A Creativity Symposium for All
A Creativity Symposium,
supported by Arts Council England, will be held at the iconic Oxford University
Museum of Natural History as part of Oxfordshire Artweeks on
Saturday, 25
April, 10 – 5.
Ideas in the Making: A
Creativity Symposium for All invites
the public to explore creative thinking and practice through a wide range of
creative activities, lectures and expert-led workshops.
The event is open to everyone, from families looking for free, fun and creative activities in the inspiring environs of the museums, to casual observers who are curious about exploring different perspectives on creativity in everyday life.
The Symposium will begin at 10am with a free programme in the historic lecture theatre of the Natural History Museum. Keynote speakers, Dr. Tracey Warr (Art), Professor Simon Olding (Craft), and Dr. Andrew Lack (Ecology) will explore ideas of creativity in their fields. This will be followed by a panel discussion with professionals active in creative fields, including fine art, craft, design and architecture.
From 1pm, family-focussed, creative activities organised by a range of organisations and artists, including Oxford Brookes Fine Art students, Rycotewood Furniture Centre, Art in Action, River & Rowing Museum and the Sylva Foundation, will be taking place throughout the Natural History and Pitt Rivers Museums.
A series of expert-led creative workshops will run parallel to these activities, facilitated by Dr. Robin Wilson (Wytham Woods), Giuseppe Boscherini (Designer, Architect) and Clair Chinnery (Senior Lecturer Fine Art, Oxford Brookes).
Morning talks and afternoon children’s activities are free.
