Turner Prize School Visits
Towner Eastbourne is now taking bookings for the Turner Prize 2023! (3rd October 2023 - 12 April 2024)
To support your visit, we have been working with The Turing School to develop a student resource: Give it Some Oomph! is a guide for young people engaging in contemporary art.
Artist, musician and author Richard Phoenix, worked with a group of Year 9 students; The Nibble Bibble Duck Toes, to develop tools and tactics that will support schools’ engagement with the Turner Prize exhibition.
It is designed to be printed on A4 and can be downloaded and printed for your visit. It can be used in any gallery or arts space. The resource is intended to be used as a whole but you can use individual pages or themes for your visit.
Head here to find out more about the project.
Give it Some Oomph!: Secondary and Higher Education
(designed by and for Year 9 Students)
Give it Some Oomph!: Primary
