'The Paper Party!' is an artwork designed by artist and mass participation specialist Emma Martin and 6 young people from St Paul’s Peel Primary school, called the Creative Crew.

9125 children across Salford have made personalised gift boxes. Inside their box, they have written about and drawn a ‘gift’ they would like to give to Salford to make their city the best place to live, work and play in, as we enter the next 100 years!

'The Paper Party Take Over!' is a fun filled weekend where all the artworks are on display in Salford Museum and Art Gallery at a ‘takeover’ event.

Come and join the young artists and their families to interact with the artwork, explore the museum and gallery, play some party games and make some art. Join our ARTY PARTY!
