Uniqlo Launches Free Art Workshops for Families at Tate Modern

Japanese clothing brand Uniqlo, known for its minimalist style and over 2,000 stores worldwide, has partnered with Tate Modern in London to launch Uniqlo Tate Play, a free program of art-inspired activities for children, young people, and their families. The initiative follows Uniqlo's previous collaborations with the Louvre in Paris—which produced a collection inspired by the museum's masterpieces designed by Peter Saville—and a T-shirt series featuring Japanese author Haruki Murakami. Taku Morikawa, CEO of Uniqlo Europe, stated that the company is honored to collaborate with Tate Modern in 2021, the 20th anniversary of Uniqlo's launch in the UK, emphasizing shared values of accessibility to art and creativity. The first Uniqlo Tate Play project transformed the Turbine Hall floor into a large canvas for free drawing. The current workshop, MAKE – Transform, runs until November 21, 2021, in conjunction with the museum's exhibition dedicated to Auguste Rodin. Participants can work with clay, take their creations home, or leave them to be displayed alongside other participants' works.
