Jump into the off-beat world of Re-PLAY with a series of dynamic, artist-led workshops designed especially for children and their families. Inspired by the bold colour and energy of Re-PLAY, these workshops offer a chance to collaborate and experiment with ideas through the art of play.
Led by professional Teaching Artists, participants will explore repetition through pattern and colour, assemblage of unexpected materials into poetic sculptures, and re-imagine everyday discarded objects into new forms of beauty. These workshops encourage kooky thinking and hands-on participation exploring how artists harness play as a powerful tool for creativity and connection.
Perfect for children aged 5–12 and their grown-ups.

For centuries, drawing from both life and sculpture has been a foundational practice in the education of artists. This school holidays we invite you and your family to explore the works in the Gallery through drawing. Whether it’s the powerful bronze sculptures on the rooftop or the range of First Nations work in Balancing Act, take a closer look at their textures, shapes, and stories.
