Creative Kids

From artist-led workshops in Free Art Sunday to self-directed art trails, MRAG offers a dynamic creative program for kids and their families.

Kenzi has been a regular visitor to MRAG since she was four. Codebreakers and Free Art Sunday are her favourite things to do at the Gallery. Over the Winter school holidays, Kenzi completed the Shadow Boxer art trail and enjoyed creating her own ‘Local Legend’ badge. (“Pick something unique that makes you legendary and create your own badge for your fans”.) Kenzi is also creative at home and collaborates with her friends to make artworks inspired by the app Roblox and other things they are interested in.

Kenzi Halford (aged 9) “One of these is two different drawings of my dog Mr Rooben. He is getting old now. The other one is a picture of a Unicorn Kitty – I have been practising drawing cartoon style.”

Free Art Sunday is the Gallery’s flagship program for creative children and their families, led by MRAG Art Tutors with all materials included. On every Sunday 10.30am – 12.30pm. Bookings required. Look out for our new art trail accompanying the exhibition A Conspicuous Object – The Maitland Hospital.

Free Art Sunday is supported by MRAG Members and CleverPatch.
