East Grinstead Museum is looking for 10 enthusiastic people to take part in a one-off, all day creative activity on Saturday 28th April 2012.

Together you will work with a professional artist to create a piece of art inspired by items from the Guinea Pig Club Collection held at the Museum. The final piece of work that you have helped to create will go on display during the Museum’s summer exhibition and will become part  of the Museum’s permanent collection. You will also be invited to the Private View for the official opening of this exhibition.

This creative activity is part of a wider regional project that the Museum has been working towards since acquiring the collection to celebrate the 2012 Paralympics and the legacy of the Guinea Pig Club.

So, whatever your age, if you’re interested in art or history and want to contribute to this unique, innovative (and free) event, please contact the museum for an application form at info@eastgrinsteadmuseum.org.uk or call 01342 302233.

The session will run from 10am until 5.30pm and lunch will be provided. Please send completed applications to the Museum by Tuesday 27th March.
