Little Art Critics TV

Try your hand at being a TV art critic! Join Young Film Academy, where children aged 5-12 years take the microphone and give their unfiltered reactions to the Sculpture in the City artworks, live on camera.

Inspired by 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.

Participants are invited to return to Seething Lane in the City of London at 6.30pm for a public screening on a 10-foot screen of the completed TV show and popcorn in abundance. Each participant will be emailed a link to the completed TV show after the workshop.
