For two weeks in July, Room 13 Hareclive exhibited at M Shed, Bristol: an important city arts and culture organisation for the people of Bristol and international visitors. We had the whole education space, with huge windows looking out over the heart of the city. We filled it with Hareclive children’s creativity, art, enterprise, independent thinking, learning, collaborating, voice and change-making.

This summer we celebrate two decades of Room 13 Hareclive as an independent artists’ studio co-run by children based in the grounds of Hareclive primary school.

How many children get paid for making artwork for another school? Well, in Room 13 we got a chance to make a beautiful piece of artwork for The Treehouse school titled ‘There’s a Lemur on the Loose’.
