Basquiat Boom for Real at The Barbican

Developing a partnership with London's Barbican

Cleveland's relationship with the London's Barbican centre has, until recently, been primarily through a strong, long-established and continually developing relationship with the London Symphony Orchestra, which has long been based in the complex. 

Through our partnerships with Creative Schools, A New Direction and Stratford Circus arts, we have now begun a new relationship with the Barbican's gallery. Our Year 6 pupils had the opportunity to visit the Basquiat exhibition, which was garnering much praise and attention in the media and with arts critics. They - both pupils and teachers - were stunned by their visit which included an opportunity to work with resident arts experts and a visiting artist. 

Take a moment to enjoy the piece created in response to this inspiring exhibition:

Take a few minutes out of your day to enjoy Year 6's creative response to the Basquiat: Book for Real exhibition which took place at London's Barbican Centre during Autumn 2018. The children had a wonderful time exploring the exhibition of Basquiat's work and their response will really impress.
