Join us this school holidays for a playful, hands-on FREE workshop series for children and young people, led by local artist Nina Annand. Through storytelling, art-making and collaboration, participants will create textile costumes and paper sculptures inspired by the animals, plants and seasonal rhythms of Arrernte Country in winter.

Exhibition | 5–9 July: At the end of the series, all artworks will be showcased in the June Marriott Gallery in a special mini exhibition open to friends, family and the wider community! Whether you're a budding young artist or trying something creative for the first time, these workshops are open, inclusive and full of wonder.

This program is proudly supported by the Northern Territory Government through the 2024/25 Alice Springs Youth Activity Grant – Unleash Creativity.
