Sculpt is a new kind of art experience.
Seven inspirational artists to answer the brief ‘A Response to Space’. They have been asked to deliver drama, work on a large-scale, install captivating sculptures that everyone can understand and show how contemporary art can take centre stage and engage through the audacity of the work.
There is also be a treasure hunt to engage children at each venue.
