10:00am to 4:00pm

Quay Arts is part of Fun Palaces 2014, a free, nationwide celebration of arts, culture and sciences taking place on Saturday 4 & Sunday 5 October.

Marking the 100th birthday of Joan Littlewood, one of the Twentieth Century’s most significant cultural innovators, Fun Palaces 2014 brings to life the vision she created with Cedric Price for spaces linking arts and sciences, entertainment and education, a campaign of culture at the heart of all human life.

Fun palaces, created in partnership with the Albany, Deptford, brings together over 100 Fun Palace Makers, including Joan’s own theatre Theatre Royal Stratford East, the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Roundhouse, Turner Contemporary in Margate, Gladstone’s Library, York Cocoa House, a Canadian radio station and your own Quay Arts, as well as Digital Fun Palace, in one of the most ambitious creative collaborations the UK has ever seen.

FREE ENTRY

We are opening our doors to the community, if there is something you feel is artistic and/or scientific, something hands off to admire or something hands on to get the community involved. It is entirely up to you. Contact us at info@quayarts if you have something you wish to showcase.

‘Choose what you want to do … dance, talk or be lifted up to where you can see how other people make things work. Sit out over space with a drink and tune in to what’s happening elsewhere in the city. Try starting a riot or beginning a painting – or just lie back and stare at the sky.’ Joan Littlewood and Cedric Price on their vision for the Fun Palace.
