Be 'Wow'ed At The Study Gallery Of Modern Art

On Wednesday 18th October The Study Gallery Of Modern Art will launch a brand new public activity programme called WOW - What's On Wednesdays. 
 
Supported by the Borough of Poole and the Arts Council England WOW days will offer a wide mix of activities and social opportunities at the Study Gallery from 9.00am - 9.00pm for 40 Wednesday a year. 

In celebration of the launch of the new programme the unique Europa String Choir will be playing at the Study Gallery on Wednesday between 12.30 -1.30pm following which the composer Simon Speare will run an experimental workshop where people will interpret their own pictures through sounds.

The WOW activities on offer each week include drawing combined with yoga and meditation exercises, arty games for the under fives with coffee for parents, music, writing and interpreting art sessions.   Open studio events will encourage making art and there will also be introductory sessions to digital photography and understanding art.

People are also welcome to come and socialise or play games such as backgammon, bridge, chess or family board games, watch an art film, read a book or the newspapers, or even just sit and chat. 

Each week a Wow Healthy Lunch will be on offer between 12.30 -1.30 together with a lunchtime event such as music, a film or a talk.  The WOW Café will open from 10.00 to 5.00 with a wine bar from 5.30 - 8.30pm.

Access to Leisure cardholders can enjoy a 50% discount on all activities with the exception of lunch.  Parking is limited.

Marianne Scahill, Arts in the Community Officer at Borough of Poole said:  “WOW is focused on offering people of all ages living and working locally a very diverse range of activities and adds a whole new dimension to the usual welcome to visit exhibitions and the shop at the Study Gallery from Tuesdays to Saturdays.  It really is a great opportunity to experience art in a variety of exciting ways.”
