Art is where the home is

Star-studded activities

If you are looking for creative inspiration from some of the country's biggest names, Firstsite can help.

The idea is this: projects must fit onto an A4 sized piece of paper and require no special equipment. The activity packs, which will be suitable for both adults and children, will be available to download from 3 April.
