Little Hal - The Emerging Artist!!

Little Hal is already making his mark in the art world at only 9 weeks old! Hal was invited to lay the virtual foundation stone at the launch event for Living Derby at Derby Museum and Gallery. As Living Derby’s youngest member he was honoured to be asked to mark this momentous occasion. In front of a large audience he pressed the button which laid the foundation stone – he wasn’t nervous or phased at all, but I think this was due to the fact that he was sleeping serenely throughout!

Hal was 13 weeks old and wide awake when he worked with his Mum on Bill Drummond’s ‘The 17’ project. Opening later in the year, QUAD is currently under construction in the heart of Derby city centre. QUAD will be a thriving centre for art and film. Hal was with Mum as part of the Mother’s group and this group photograph, which stars Hal, will be displayed in an exhibition that will launch QUAD.
