Create Space is a flexible, comfortable and imaginative space; a space in which people of all ages can see, think, make and do.

Try activities inspired by Acts of Creation: On Art and Motherhood until the exhibition closes on Sun 13 July. You can also download a selection here to try at home any time. 

From Wed 16 July, we'll have more fun and creative activities to explore during the summer holidays. Design and build your own wee house with our new architecture activity sheets, create your own colours and shapes of Dundee inspired by illustrator Kate Benzie, and get imaginative with the contents of our See, Think, Make, Do bags or take one to get creative with at home. 

We'll also have a display of of amazing environmental collages made by Inverbrothock Primary School's P6 class, and you can add your own artwork to our gallery wall.

If Create Space is closed when you visit, you can find a selection of activity sheets and materials on our Art Cart which is located in the Information Space. You can check the opening times for Create Space below.
