Draw a Line in the Sand: Summer family activities

Kick up a sandstorm this summer holiday with our free family-friendly creative activities! 🌵 Summer is here and the heat is on! From sand dunes to desertscapes, we're digging deep into Tate's collection of hot, arid environments to explore the vibrant wildlife and vegetation that make up the ecosystems thriving in these scorching habitats. 🌞

So, don’t bury your head in the sand this summer! Set your imagination ablaze with desert-inspired creations! 🎨 Be inspired by breathtaking artworks in Tate’s collection, including:

• Vita Celmins's Desert
• Lee Miller's Untitled (Bleached Snail Shells), Western Desert, Egypt
• Sir Sidney Nolan's Inland Australia
• Emily Kam Kngwarray's Untitled (Alhalker)
• David Shrigley's Carrots

Our Learning Space is open daily for visiting families! It’s a perfect spot to relax and create, featuring art games, coloring-in, books, toys, and more! 🖍️
