In conjunction with HCMF (Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival) the University's Art and Design, and Music PGCE students are facilitating a fabulous community education art event - Pop-up Art School‌

The event takes place on Sunday 29 November 2015 from 1.00pm to 4.00pm in the Creative Arts Building.

The theme is Huddersfield’s ‘Sound System Culture’: the culture that was thriving in Huddersfield in the 1970s and 1980s, initially developing from the Caribbean community in the area but eventually expanding until it became world-renowned in the global reggae and dub scene.

The Sound System Culture project has created a unique interactive sound system which will be housed at the Festival and will form the focus of this year's Pop-Up Art School, where the many different facets of the culture will be explored through engaging with music via art, media and craft.

The Pop-Up will also provide a hands-on opportunity to interact directly with the sound system and make some noise! Dig out your old dub and reggae vinyl and join us!

Free event, all ages welcome. Bring your family and friends – it promises to be a great afternoon!
