The Beautiful Game
Children's Summer Workshops
21.08.2025–30.08.2025

The Beautiful Game is an exhibition that culminated at the end of a series of free workshops combining art and football.

The workshops used the chaos, culture and comedy of the world’s most loved sport to generate exciting artworks whilst getting creative and having a good time.

Workshops included kicking paint soaked footballs from a penalty spot at a net on the gallery’s wall; screen printing our own football kits; making abstract prints from old beaten-up footballs; designing our own giant Subbuteo players; immortalising ourselves or our favourite players as giant football stickers; and a table football tournament. We celebrated the flair, drama, and absurdity of the game through the eyes of artists.

The Beautiful Game was supported by Arts Council England, the Police and Crime Commissioners Fund, Malings Foundation and the National Lottery Community Fund.
