Blackpool will host the National Gallery’s travelling art studio in partnership with arts organisation, LeftCoast, this September.

For two weeks, enthusiasts will have a chance to experience hands-on activities facilitated by artists Nerissa Cargill Thompson, Joseph Doubtfire, Lizza Lane, Chloe Cooke and Sadegh Aleahmad.

The activities will shed light on Dutch painter, Rachel Ruysch’s flower artistry.

The team seeks to enlighten creativity in everyday life while linking to LeftCoast’s Right To Grow Manifesto.

They will offer a botanical lab experience, faux terrarium crafting lessons, virtual reality art sessions, and symbolic floral arrangement tutorials.

LeftCoast’s artistic director Laura Jamieson said: "We are excited to be working with the National Gallery to bring the Art Road Trip to the neighbourhoods of Blackpool."

She added: "This is an opportunity to work with paintings from a national collection and explore their relevance to our daily lives."

The art studio will be set up in different Blackpool locations running sessions from 10am to 3pm each day and is free for everyone.

Locations include Wash Your Words, The Grange, Claremont Community Centre and Blackpool Central Library among others.

The Art Road Trip forms a part of the National Gallery’s Bicentenary, NG200, with events scheduled across the UK.

Blackpool is only one of the 18 chosen hosts of the travelling art studio.
