Kids Business

Handing all the decisions over to children aged 5 – 15, Kids Business will be a new site specific public art work in a high street shop in Swaffham. Working with local budding young entrepreneurs, artists Hunt & Darton will run a series of workshops to grow ideas, cultivate skills, and bring to fruition the creation of a new business, democratically conjured up through the imagination of a group of kids.

Hunt & Darton is a live art collaboration between Jenny Hunt and Holly Darton. They are a lead UK arts organisation in publicly engaged, interactive and highly creative events. Empowering people to simply express themselves, H&D make art events that they create and perform with the general public. Taking their work directly to people, often taking on a recognisable format (a cafe) or popular medium (radio), popping up on high streets, interrupting daily routines by challenging automated behaviour and having a laugh.
