While You Explore Arnolfini…
Your thoughts and feelings matter
Art can make us feel all sorts of things — curious, inspired, even unsure — and all of those reactions are valid. That’s the exciting part about art: there’s space for everyone’s interpretation!
Respect each other’s ideas
Everyone sees things differently, and that’s what makes conversations about art so interesting. You might not always agree, but staying open to others’ opinions is important.
Take your time
Look closely. Step back. Look again. Some artworks take a moment to reveal something new.
Be curious
Ask questions, imagine stories, or think about what the artist might be trying to say. There are no wrong questions here!
Enjoy the space
This is your time to explore, think, and be creative.
