Join us in creating a massive piece of public art!
This is your chance to pick up a paint brush and make your mark on the Gallery walls. This October we want everyone in Ōtautahi Christchurch to help us create a new exhibition – a colossal public paint-out of one of our downstairs galleries. We’ll provide all the materials—you just need to bring yourself and your artistic flair. This event is open to all ages – doodlers and dab hands alike.
All children will need to be accompanied by an adult.
Last entry 3:40pm.

Artists' Toolbox Term 2 2024
Do you know a young person who loves to make art? Artists' Toolbox is a seven-week after-school course that runs each term on Wednesdays.
Designed for 8-12 year olds, the lessons cover the ‘how to’ skills that every young artist can use to develop their artwork. Students will draw, paint, print and sculpt their way through a series of activities that will teach them the artists' tools such as tone, depth, space and colour. Perfect for the young artist who is keen to sharpen their skills. Each term is a slightly different programme and all materials are provided.
