Let’s Make – Bowling Park
Lou Sumray
Get creative with artist Lou Sumray at these free family-friendly workshops in Bowling Park.
Bradford-based artist Lou Sumray invites you to join her at The Beacon in Bowling Park to get creative – inspired by Bradford’s open spaces.
Pick up a pen and make your mark on one of Lou’s six-foot-tall art screens – you provide the inspiration, we’ll provide the pens.
Everyone’s welcome at these family-friendly workshops, admission is free (no need to book), and we’ll provide all the pens, paints and materials you need to get creative. You can also make your own crafty creations to take home.
Lou will be running more art-making sessions later in 2025, when The Beacon makes its stops in Cliffe Castle Park and Lister Park – and at the end of the year, we’ll bring together the art screens from all four locations to make one large Beacon artwork!
