The artists draw from various sources to create different creatures that have their own individual identities. For APT8 Kids, the artists invited children to create a mythical avatar by combining different physical attributes using specially designed templates. After completing their avatar, children entered a black-lit space and added their fluorescent creation to a sculptural landscape. They loved using their imagination, building and creating and just having fun. It’s great to see how much the children enjoy making simple creations and having a nice day out. Visitor comment
