school holiday workshops and art tuesday's 2008/2009

art tuesday's in 2008
taking kids art off the fridge door
Our Art Tuesday's program is well into its 3rd year and going strong! Guided by professional artists from the region, Art Tuesday's kids get to tackle a new theme, a new idea and a new medium each term, and finish it all off with their works exhibited for the public in the main gallery. Not bad for an 8 year old! And most of all its FUN!

This is a unique opportunity for your child to move their art from the fridge door to the gallery. Being able to access the gallery’s latest exhibitions gives students a greater insight into the world of art allowing them to respond and be inspired by what they see. Join mrag for an afternoon of art and fun.
