I Don't Know Much About Art But I Know What I Lick

A show about fine art for messy people.

Step inside an art gallery created especially for children and their grown-ups.

Guided by two performer attendants, explore a playful collection of satirical and interactive reworkings of iconic artworks. There’s a Mona Lisa whose eyes actually follow you, and The Birth of Venus reimagined in a paddling pool clam shell...

Children are encouraged to connect with the artworks in whatever way makes the most sense to them. Rather than standing back and contemplating the beauty of Monet’s water lilies, they can step through the frame and go looking for frogs.

This imaginative new work by Trick of the Light Theatre explores ideas of high art and exclusivity, while making the world of visual arts more inclusive, welcoming and interactive.
