Creative Consultants
The Creative Consultants are a group of young people aged between 15 and 18 who meet regularly to explore the collections and interpret artworks for their peers.
The Creative Consultants meet at weekends at the gallery and work on a variety of projects led by different artists. They explore the collections to interpret artworks for different audiences. This can be through events, trails, or using new types of interpretation in the galleries.
In their latest project, Visual Dialogues, the Creative Consultants developed a dramatic sound installation, to link artworks from Tate Britain and Manchester Art Gallery. This was on display from Tuesday 27 January - Sunday 15 March 2009.
Check out the day we spent recording sound for this at Futureworks on flickr.
