Georgie's bottle of #Watchet is 'Dancing in the Esplanade Club' “There's a band, it's crowded and full of laughter. We forget who is a friend and who we only slightly know and they merge into a happy mix” #EastQuay #NevilleGabie containsart.co.uk/bottles.ht… #community #culture

Creativity is a basic human right! 300 ‘Let’s Create’ packs are now en route to children from low-income families in West Somerset. Thanks to #artscouncilengland and #southwestheritagetrust for funding these and support from @clownsws, @homestartws and @real_ideas_organisation.

With many galleries and museums planning to re-open, today will be the last contained art challenge. For today’s challenge... engage in an act of kindness. Perhaps you could reflect on some of your Lockdown creations and think about people who might enjoy them now. #containedart

Today is the penultimate contained art challenge... the surrealist art game of The Exquisite Corpse. Play as a group and fold lengths of paper into 4 equal parts. Each person draws a head, then rotate papers between players to draw the bodies, legs then feet. #containedart

Today’s contained art challenge...make a giant canvas. You could use an old bed sheet, a sheet of wood or even a wall (just ask permission!). Create stencils from cereal boxes or find objects that have interesting silhouettes then spray with paint and layer up. #containedart

Today’s contained art challenge celebrates National Insect Week with an insect hunt, courtesy of the @nationalgallery’s extensive collections. Children will enjoy finding and identifying the critters in these paintings, then learn why the artists included them. #containedart
