This Christmas, the Fleet Street Quarter is transforming into a winter wonderland with a magical FREE penguin parade sculpture trail in support of WWF.

From Thursday 14th November, families and visitors are invited to embark on a fabulous festive adventure to discover 12 adorable penguin sculptures throughout the Quarter. Each penguin, decked out in unique festive finery designed by talented artists, will be perched in iconic spots like Chancery Lane, New Street Square, Ludgate Circus and Fleet Street, adding a splash of Antarctic charm to the City.

But wait, there's more! This enchanting free trail isn't just about admiring cute penguins. Each sculpture will reveal fascinating facts about our black and white feathered pals and the Fleet Street Quarter, narrated by comedic genius Olaf Falafel. Simply scan the QR code and dive into a treasure trove of fun facts. Discover amazing information like how penguins can swim at speeds of up to 22 miles per hour - faster than most Olympic swimmers!

By scanning the QR codes on each sculpture, visitors can support WWF's vital conservation efforts. Donations will help protect these remarkable creatures and their habitats, ensuring they survive for future generations.

The trail, produced by global public art specialists Wild in Art, will run for eight weeks with each penguin sculpture standing at an impressive 1.6 meters tall and is mounted on eco-friendly plinths made from recycled materials. Accompanying plaques will provide insights into the artists' inspirations.

Lucy French, CEO of Fleet Street Quarter "We are thrilled to bring this enchanting penguin trail to Fleet Street Quarter, providing a fun and engaging way for families and visitors to explore this wonderful historic pocket of the city of London while also supporting the vital conservation efforts of WWF. This initiative not only brings a little joy but also reflects our commitment to creating a sustainable and vibrant community. We hope everyone enjoys discovering these charming creatures and learning more about their world during the festive season."

Louise Oakley, Director of Community Fundraising at WWF-UK "We are excited to collaborate with the Fleet Street Quarter on this wonderful penguin sculpture trail. Unfortunately, climate change is a growing worry for Antarctic Penguins. This trail is a fantastic way to engage the public in conservation of this iconic species and highlights the urgent need to protect their habitat. We hope it inspires many to support our efforts to help these amazing species to thrive for generations to come."

Charlie Langhorne, Managing Director and Co-founder, Wild in Art "Exploring the penguin trail is a fun, festive, outdoor activity to do with friends and family. It's a great opportunity to take a stroll around the Fleet Street Quarter, discover some truly unique and inspiring artwork while learning more about the important work of WWF."

Set against the backdrop of beautiful architecture, the Fleet Street Quarter is home to a host of iconic cultural locations, hotels, restaurants, bars, and cafés. The closest stations are Chancery Lane, City Thameslink and Blackfriars.

This new work continues Keegan's previous work exploring memory, history, dress and decoration, which often combines a variety of mediums - textiles, painting, copy art and media experimentation. Structures of Time combines copy art, hand-cutting and digital collage, superimposing ten seating designs with a photograph of the artist in her thirties, taken at Brixton Station, where Keegan first lived after moving to London, holding a recently taken selfie.

What do you consider to be vital to your survival? The air you breathe? The water you drink? The earth that feeds you?

The health of our planet is essential for the survival of all living things, including you. To thrive, we need to build stronger alliances with each other, and with all other species.

Science Gallery London's new exhibition,  Vital Signs: Another world is possible  brings together artists, designers and researchers to explore these relationships and how the health of the natural world - from our waterways to our atmosphere and the ocean floor - is intimately connected to our own health and wellbeing.

Revealing unique perspectives on our surrounding environments through creative, sensory works and multiple voices, this exhibition reinforces the fact that humans are fundamentally a part of nature rather than apart from it.

Vital Signs shares the ways people are shaping liveable and hopeful futures, here in London and around the world. It confronts environmental injustices and asks us to consider: what changes could we make if we understand that the planet's health is an extension of our own?

Tate Modern-Oscar Murillo, The flooded garden

Tate Modern-Oscar Murillo, The flooded garden

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This summer, artist Oscar Murillo will transform the Turbine Hall into an enormous painting garden. Oscar invites everyone to take part in creating a vibrant work of epic proportions. Pick up a paintbrush and make your mark using wave-like strokes to flood a giant canvas.

The flooded garden is inspired by Claude Monet's paintings of his flower garden in Giverny, France, and builds upon Oscar's own series of Surge works. For inspiration, works from this series will be on display in the South Tank, featuring expressive oil paint flowing across their surfaces, like water. Like the artist, we'll be using deep hues of blue, bright yellows and pinks to create this collaborative piece of art.

Oscar often paints over words, etchings, and debris from his studio, covering them with his own marks. We'll do the same, painting over thousands of drawings, marks and words contributed by people of all ages from around the world and local community groups at Tate Modern.
This activity involves messy materials - please wear suitable clothing.

Our work with schools focuses on secondary students and in particular those at key career choice points (year 8,9 onwards) in order to offer new experiences exploring the behind the scenes of our building or offering a deeper engagement within our exhibitions and events programme. We are equipped to cater to individual and collective needs and our team are experienced in working with a range of schools including SEN and students with specific requirements. Previous activities have included a digital workshop led by the Björk Biophilia Education Project and an Afro-Beat poetry workshop with the Royal African Society.

With Colleges and Universities we aim to create an environment for discourse in which students can feed into the wider conversations surrounding the arts and society. We also offer the tools in which groups can contextualise, research and support their studies and provide an opportunity for more independent investigation. Recent projects such as social media takeovers, student artist residencies and industry panel discussions have encouraged conversation while developing professional awareness and preparedness.
