The Hayward Huddle

The Hayward Huddle is a group of passionate young artists (16-19 years old) who collaborate with professional artists to create art for public display in London. They meet at the Hayward Gallery and create events for teenagers to get involved in.

On 30th March, the Hayward Huddle hosted an event for members of youth programmes at four other London galleries as part of the ‘Louis Vuitton Young Arts Project’. The event involved a tour of the ‘British Art Show 7: In the Days of the Comet’ exhibition, to film a review of our relationship to art. This also included a bit of dressing up and plenty of ice-cream!

Our Post-16 Art students, Jack Defer and Ian Hau were part of the planning group and helped lead the event along with a small selection of other Huddle members. Jack was also asked to interview one of the Hayward Gallery curators about the forth coming Tracy Emin show, ‘Love Is What You Want’ for a film to go on the ‘Louis Vuitton Young Arts’ website.

This is a fantastic group to get involved with if you want to make a contribution to the art world. For more information please see Ms Ashman.
