Manchester Art Gallery

Creative Workshops

Brief

To deliver an interactive workshop on the ways social media can be used to promote creativity.

From ground-breaking exhibitions to pioneering educational activities, Manchester Art Gallery is a stalwart on the national art scene. We were asked to present to their Creative Consultants, a group of 14-19 year olds who meet monthly to connect with art, be creative and make their mark on the gallery.

Solution

We presented a range of creative social media approaches, and looked at how the gallery could increase digital participation and interaction.

Our work here was targeted at a teen audience who went on to establish some exciting, creative forays into the social world – not least a statue that tweets, and an installation with a live Instagram feed.

‘Shake delivered a smart, clear, fun and engaging session on social media for Manchester Art Gallery's Creative Consultants group, actively involving everyone, and targeted just right.’
