Throughout 2014, an art group run by the charity
Crisis have visited exhibitions across our museums and galleries. Inspired by what they have seen, the group members have spent the last 12 weeks working together in their workshop on a mural which celebrates the city of Liverpool. I attended the unveiling of the fantastic artwork and got the chance to see other paintings the group have produced. There were some wonderful creations!
Their favourite exhibitions this year were
Grayson Perry: The Vanity of Small Differences and the
John Moores Painting Prize at the
Walker Art Gallery; both provided the group with a wealth of discussion, debate and ideas for their own work. The group spoke very passionately about their experiences of visiting our venues and it was very rewarding to see how our exhibitions can inform, challenge and inspire people.
A big thank you to Crisis art group and we hope to see you in 2015!
