Futuremakers is a summer-long programme which aims to inspire the designers and makers of the future through acts of playing, making and building.
About
The aim of the project is to work together with the public to design and build a number of ‘pavilions’. A pavilion is a free standing structure and could take many forms: a summer house or shed, a kiosk or any other kind of structure. The makers will inspire and help support the creation and construction of pavilions using the architecture of mac as a starting point.
Resident makers will work in purpose-built open studios in the gallery to work collaboratively with the public and local groups. Participants will be invited to explore materials, play and have fun, while helping to create a new structure, supported by our experienced makers.
An exhibition of historical and contemporary examples of designing through play accompanies the residency programme.
There are lots of opportunities to take part in Futuremakers. If you are interested in coming along to play and create with our makers, please see our website for more information.
