The Drumcroon Gallery was established in 1980, the result of the collective vision of Wigan Education Authority and its art adviser, Rod Taylor. It gave form to the concept that participation and appreciation are complementary aspects of an education in the visual arts and became the arena within which educators, artists and learners developed an enduring and principled partnership. Adults as well as young people from early years children to sixth form students are catered for. The Drumcroon service is multi faceted and it is in the interaction between the visitor and these many dimensions, referred to by Michael Rothenstein as "the wrap-around experience", that makes the work of the centre unique. |

For full report on Drumcroon click here...... The Universal Themes "I described them as 'universal' because each one features in the art of the world across time, place and cultures; the works of any gallery or museum collection can be grouped together according to them - with two or more obviously present in many; and they also feature in the art of the locality. Equally important, any school art syllabus can be deconstructed by grouping projects together according to the themes they encompass." More......... Rod Taylor Artists in Residence
