NGV KIDS ON TOUR AT THE GALLERY

This year we have an amazing program for you inspired by NGV exhibitions! With workshops hosted by Sammy and Larissa running at the Horsham Library and Horsham Regional Art Gallery, there will be something artistically amazing for your child or teen to delve into.

WEDNESDAY 15 JANUARY

Pompoms (Ages 10+) 10:30am – 11:30am, Horsham Regional Art Gallery
Sophie Honess is a Gomeroi Yinarr artist based in Tamworth, New South Wales and creates textile works that celebrate the natural beauty of grasses, creek beds, grains of sand, and bush plants like wattle and eucalyptus flowers found on Country. Designed especially for teens, this making activity invites participants to be inspired by the natural world around them. Create a bush flower pompom using yarn, embroidery thread and colourful felts to then tag to your school bag, key chain or anything else!

Bogong Moths (Ages 5+), 2:00pm – 3:00pm, Horsham Regional Art Gallery
Dr Deanne Gilson is a proud Wadawurrung woman living on her ancestral Country of Ballarat. Her art is about her culture and looking after the environment. In this activity children receive a paper template of the Australian bogong moth to make their own paper moth. While drawing eyes and patterns, discover the interesting facts about this special Australian insect, how it avoids predators, and its important place in our incredible natural environment.

THURSDAY 16 JANUARY

Furry Friends Headband (Ages 5+), Horsham Regional Art Gallery

2 Session Times: 10:30am – 11:30am OR 2:00pm – 3:00pm 
Dalmatians, tabby cats and labradoodles! Cats and dogs come in many different colours, patterns, shapes and sizes. Celebrating the NGV exhibition Cats & Dogs, children can draw fur and other details inspired by their favourite pets on a set of cat or dog ears and wear them for the day – or even to bed! Creating these furry headbands will stimulate young minds, encouraging play, imagination and creativity.
