As the long summer break stretches out in front of us, the offerings available for kids and families are endless, especially in Australia’s big cities. Almost every gallery, museum or performing arts company will have its own targeted school holiday program – ranging from simple paints and sketchpads, to ceramics, filmmaking workshops or ballet clinics.
Tying in with the NGA’s stunning major exhibition of paintings, textiles and works on paper by senior Anmatyerr Australian artist Emily Kam Kngwarray, the Gallery’s kids’ program includes stories, play, creative activities, and games such as the Leaf Game, a storytelling game using sand and leaves, which was played by Emily Kam Kngwarray as a child.
