Little Art Critics TV

Try your hand at being a TV art critic! Join one of three 75 minute workshops throughout the festival day facilitated by Young Film Academy, where children aged 5-12 years take the microphone and give their unfiltered reactions to the artworks, live on camera. Inspired by the 12th Edition of Sculpture in the City, these aspiring art critics will be directed and filmed by professional filmmakers from Young Film Academy with world-class sculptures in the EC area.
