Menu

Inspired by the Getty Museum's Recreating Art project, in response to the COVID-19 shutdown, museums around the world asked people to recreate their favourite artwork from household items.

We loved the response on social media and want to keep this project running whilst the Coronavirus pandemic continues to limit our physical access to museums and galleries.

The Challenge

We challenge you to recreate your favourite painting from The Pitmen Painters collection with materials you can find at home.

For inspiration check out all of the artworks at Art UK 

You can send us your creations via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or email
