This year Frieze Art Fair encouraged children and young people to explore and draw with help from the Forget Me Not and Octopus’s Garden activity guides. These activity sheets were inspired by the work of two 2011 Frieze Project’s artists, Pierre Huyghe and Laure Prouvost who were invited to make new artworks to exhibit in Frieze Art Fair.
In the Octopus’s Garden those aged 9-99 could take part in four fun activities in which Pierre Huyghe’s Frieze Project inspired new ideas for thinking about and making art. For those younger children visiting the fair Forget Me Not motivated them to look out for people, food, art and specifically Laure Prouvost’s signs hung throughout the fair.
All were welcome to use the guides around the fair or take them to the Family Space (near the Hix Restaurant) to work on, where there are beanbags and drawing stuff, especially for kids accompanied by adults.
The Frieze Family Guide was generously supported by Deutsche Bank.

In 2010 Frieze Education worked with ReachOutRCA (The Royal College of Art’s Educational Outreach Team) to realize an artist-led programme of events for children and young people. Presented in association with Deutsche Bank, Frieze Education took place in the Deutsche Bank Education Space
