Isle of Wight Art

Whatever you are up to this weekend, why not try to fit a visit to our favourite arts centre in. There is so much going on, it's hard to turn it down.

As well as magical children's performances from Moomins and Yetis, there'll be loads of free workshops and sessions for children to take part in at the first Isle of Wight Children's Festival at Quay Arts.

This one-day-a-week course that runs from January to November 2018 will give you all you need to create an exciting and impressive portfolio, whilst gaining the art foundation experience, all on the Isle of Wight.
