Free INSET at National Portrait Gallery - 3 October 2007

The INSET is open to teachers from the art department (due to limited places, only one teacher per school can attend). It comprises artists speaking about work they have produced for the public realm and features a practical workshop to explore ways of supporting the students to create their artwork for submission to the competition. We will also be launching the Fourth Plinth Education Pack to accompany the competition. This will be available on this website to all schools after the event.

If you would like a place, please email [email protected] and we will send you a booking form and programme. Only 20 places are available and will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis.
