International Year of the Child Activities

To mark the international Year of the Child, the McDougal Gallery in conjunction with a group of ladies fom the Craft Association, are staging a special week of activities September 22-30, which we have entitled; "Our Space". Throughout the week, specially child-orientated activities will be held in the Gallery alongside what will, we are sure, be a fascinating display of child art. The activities open on Saturday 22nd September with a Giant Kite Flying Festival in North Hagley Park. In the Gallery will be special exhibitions of New Zealand figures, puppets, appliqué, made by schoolchildren throughout Canterbury.

The week will close with a grand launching of hot air balloons. Although obviously a child orientated endeavour "Our Space" will doubtless be a source of great delight to all.
