The Art Cart
When you visit the City Art Centre, look out to see if the Art Cart is there. This beautifully hand-crafted Cart is made of Scottish hardwoods such as burr elm, ash, burnt ash and walnut. It is packed full of art materials and fun activities for everyone to do. When it is in a gallery you can use it to help you find out more about the exhibitions.
