For Children 

A special feature of the exhibition at Westgate will be an opportunity for children to participate in the national Arts Award ‘Discover’ scheme, administered by Trinity College London, under a team of qualified Arts Award advisors.

Children will be encouraged to interact with the paintings and videos and to think, draw and write about their ideas in a special Arts Award workbook, prompted by a quizzes, videos and notes. This will take place each Saturday only, from 1.00 to 5.00 pm, and an Arts Award fee will be charged. Children will be able to ‘go live’ on video across the world and exchange ideas with children in Taiwan who will be following a similar programme using Snowflake Books’ and Dragon Discoveries’ international arts scheme SiACA. An Arts Award ‘Discover’ certificate will be given for successful completion of the workbook.

For adults

There will be four seminars to appreciate a history of art in Taiwan to start with works of Li Mei-Shu.
