Description/Abstract:

As part of Connect10, a national scheme to position leading artists in public venues across the UK for 'Museums at Night', Jessica Voorsanger was selected as one of the 10 commissioned artists to create a 'Museums at Night' event at a museum within Britain. Museums across the UK were invited to try to 'win' one of the artists by obtaining the most votes for their preferred artist from the general public. 20-21 Visual Arts Centre in Scunthorpe won the national competition to win Jessica Voorsanger and hosted a Museums at Night Event in 2014 with a sci-fi twist.

Jessica Voorsanger presented The Final Frontier, a unique one-night-only art event which featured Sci-fi Karaoke, Doctor Who Life Drawing, A Trouble with Tribbles Experience, a Men in Black Parade and more. It was an evening that saw 20-21 transformed into a sci-fi fans paradise.
