About Quest Boxes
Quest Boxes were designed by artist, Jonny Clapham as part of The Big Make, a month-long celebration of the amazing creativity across Milton Keynes. They were also designed to coincide with the Children’s Art Week 2020 theme, Literacy & Creative Writing. 120 Quest Boxes were distributed to 8 MK schools in July 2020 for Year 6 pupils unable to attend school due to Covid-19.
Quest Boxes and their design were kindly funded by Artswork and Engage.
