About us

We are a group of pupils and family members from Jubilee and Lauriston Primary schools in East London who have come together to take part in an exploration of some of London's most important cultural venues, exhibitions and events.

The project began in January 2009, running for three months. It returned in 2010 with a new crew, more visits and photography and Photoshop workshops. You can learn about our experiences on this blog.

We hope to develop this site in to a social network for families to share news and reviews about arts events as well as creating opportunities for people to meet up to go and see stuff together.

This project is run in association with:

"Going to the dance was a fantastic experience. My grandmother who was very formal and austere used to take me to the ballet and i absolutely hated it"

"I think what i have learnt the most about this project is.......wait for it....is SELF BELIEF. If an artist or anyone, writes, sings, dances or sculpts etc and believes they have done a good job, well thats all that matters....i have doubted myself in the past, lacked believing in myself and what i can achieve....”

"We have decided to take Ryan and Naombh somewhere at least once a month and have figured that with our children its best sometimes just to get on a bus or tube and just see what's going on ,sort of exposing them to the arts accidentally there is so much to see and do"
