The New Art Gallery Walsall
Adult Workshops
The New Art Galllery Walsall The gallery is a popular destination, and parents and adults tell us they’d like to do the activities, without the rest of the family around sometimes for a change, so they can focus on themselves. Here’s the first workshop leaflet that is full of free workshops just for adults. Please let us know what you think so that we can develop the programme.
