Ramsgate

Pioneering Places East Kent is integral to Turner Contemporary’s Programme. As part of the national Great Place scheme, the gallery is working with 60 children, aged 7 to 9, from Ramsgate Arts Primary and St Laurence’s Junior Academy and inspiring them to take the lead and have a transformative impact in their local community.

The Young Arts and Heritage Leaders will explore Ramsgate’s rich history with artists and heritage researchers, whom they recruited and respond creatively. They will lead the project until its conclusion in 2020, collaborating with Turner Prize winning collective, Assemble, on a Child-Led Plan for Ramsgate, and commissioning a major new artwork to be installed near the Harbour.
