Bendigo Art Gallery
Kids have a chance to explore their creativity with activities at the Bendigo Art Gallery.
Children can enjoy the art making tables heaving with craft materials, or even take part in holiday workshops.
Families visiting the gallery can pick up a free activity trail, to explore the gallery’s highlights, and craft their own artistic response at an activity area in the Cohn Family Gallery.
Art tables open July 3-5, 11am to 2pm. Activity trail from July 9, self tours from July 1.
‘Inside Out Drawing’ workshops will give children the chance to see how artists create drawings. Kids will have the chance to take apart electronics and draw their insides. At separate 3D drawing workshops kids can learn to make their drawings come alive.
During ‘Story Lanterns’ kids can light the long winter nights with their own collages, made into lanterns.
