Summer is here and the heat is on! From sand dunes to desertscapes, we're digging deep into Tate's collection of hot, arid environments to explore the wildlife and vegetation that make up the ecosystems that thrive in these scorching habitats.
So, don’t bury your head in the sand this summer, set your imagination ablaze with desert inspired creations!
Be inspired by artworks in Tate’s collection including Vita Celmins's Desert, Lee Miller's Untitled (Bleached Snail Shells), Western Desert, Egypt, Sir Sidney Nolan's Inland Australia, Emily Kam Kngwarray's Untitled (Alhalker) and David Shrigley's Carrots.
Our Learning Space is open every day for visiting families - a space to relax and create with art games, colouring-in, books, toys and more!
Share your experience with us on social media using @tateliverpool and #TLfamilies.
