Interactive Arts Exhibition - McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Swindon

Social Scaffolding, a touring arts exhibition is coming to McArthurGlen's Designer Outlet Swindon. Attend, for free, from 11th - 26th November.

Creativity, collaboration, care, connection, conversation and community! A curious, interactive art exhibition opens on Saturday the 11th of November in an empty shop at The Designer Outlet Centre in Swindon.

Normally in an art gallery there are signs saying, ‘Do not touch the artworks’. Here, however, you’re invited not only to touch but to take part. Climb into Alyson Minkley’s suspended, cocoon-like installation and add some stitching to its canvas surfaces; become a living sculpture by wearing Lou Baker’s bright, quirky knitted sculptures or wonder as you wander around Juliet Duckworth’s installation with lights and sound... and make sure you don’t miss Social Knitwork!

The exhibition will be running every Wednesday - Sunday (12pm - 6pm) from the 11th to the 26th of November, in Unit 9 at The Designer Outlet Centre (Swindon, SN2 2DY). Private workshops will be available on weekday mornings (Wednesday - Friday) from 10am - 12pm for community and educational groups who would benefit from arts activities.

Social Scaffolding is able to tour and offer such opportunities for free thanks to National Lottery public funding provided through Arts Council England. Please email to book and discuss options.
