Holiday fun around the city
Across Bendigo there are many school holiday programs and workshops, including the Bendigo Art Gallery's own City of Greats program, also inspired by the Paris exhibition.
The workshops were suitable for children aged between 3 to 15 years and run until Friday, April 12.
Bendigo Art Gallery Learning Manager Lena Mitchell said the workshops were created to add a touch of Paris to the autumn school holiday program.
"Families can book in for sessions with clay, paste-ups, drama, collage, mural making, a period costume life drawing session, watercolour postcards, printmaking, and an incredible series of music performances!
There are also Paris themed holiday activities happening in the Hargreaves Mall. For more information go to www.bendigoregion.com.au
