Culture Dose for Kids

8-week term weekly on Sundays

Starting Sunday 5 May 10.30 am – 12.30 pm

Join us for Culture Dose for Kids (CDK), a term of Sunday morning art classes for children and parents to create together. Our Gallery is a safe space for self-expression to build confidence and foster social connections, to help support more children and families through stressful or anxious times. Sessions focus on children’s wellbeing by exploring nature, colour and feeling through looking at the natural world and artworks from both the current exhibition and the gallery’s collection.

CDK is brought to the Cultural Centre with the support of the Art Gallery of New South Wales and the Black Dog Institute. It is an arts engagement program to support children with anxiety and those impacted by natural disasters. The development of this program has been funded by the Jibb Foundation and is a collaborative partnership between the Art Gallery of NSW and the Black Dog Institute.
