Special Events at Transformartive �

The Arts Caf� �
As part of �TransformARTive� we will be producing a special arts Menu. The arts menu is a way for you to choose your own interpretation of the art in this gallery. �

art + power have been exploring the arts world over the last year and thinking about how we can make the arts more accessible. We want to know how you want to experience the art in this gallery.

� Come and have a look at the arts menu and choose from our selection of tasty art experiences. For example you could order some more information about a piece of art or talk to an artist.

� Let an �Arts Waiter� know when you have made your selection. Then they will bring your chosen arts experience to your table.

� Performance Interventions Tuesdays- 11-4 �
A Performance intervention is a piece of theatre that just happens! You can just carry on with your business when you see it � or feel free to stop and watch.

Some of the interventions are static. They might be in the corner or in the centre of the gallery, while some of them move about and can be quite noisy! Actors at art + power have been exploring the world of art and how we feel when we visit arts venues. The interventions help people to look at exhibition spaces differently, and to get the public into the debate about art and its status in society. The interventions look at the themes of being on the outside and not having the right language to be part of a world.

� Performance Poetry - Fridays- 1-4pm �
Writers will be performing some of the work on display in the gallery. Come and grab a coffee in the caf� and be entertained or explore some of the writing installations on display. You can also pick up a free copy of the writers latest anthology.
