Titanic Scrap Boats

Titanic Scrap Boats

This month sees the launch of an exciting series of art summer schemes as Play Resource partners with Belfast City Council and the Titanic Foundation. The project is part of the planned celebrations for April 2012, when the new building opens in the Titanic Quarter with nine interactive galleries. The chosen theme for this art project is Titanic Past, Present and Future.

Lead Artist Jim Russell is responsible for the artistic concept and will create one final larger exhibition piece to include all the local groups artwork.  We will keep you updated as the project develops but for more information visit Titanic Quarter.

Or be inspired by Jim Russell’s ideas and have a go at your own scrap version of the Titanic using this Titanic Boats Scrap Craft Sheet.
