Bring your group upstairs to the gallery and explore some of the contemporary artworks in our current exhibition. Guided by Deirdre, our Learning and Engagement Coordinator we use visual thinking strategies (VTS) to discuss and build a deeper understanding of ‘what’s going on in this artwork’. This informal conversation is an opportunity for you to focus and reflect on multiple perspectives, enhancing engagement and enjoyment of learning through art. All levels of creative experience are welcome. If you have mobility requirements, please let us know in advance of your visit.

Visual Thinking Strategies is the process of looking, thinking and vocalising what we see in a work of art. It is about listening to others and expanding our thoughts on the possibilities within a painting, sculpture, drawing or work of photography. VTS encourages oral and visual literacy, problem solving and social interactions among peers. Suitable for all ages, VTS tours are best with groups of 5 or more.
