School Holidays in the Art Studio

School holidays are abuzz with excitement and creativity. Each holiday period Cairns Art Gallery offers a dynamic program of specialised art workshops to inspire kids aged 5 – 14 years. All workshops are facilitated by experienced artist/teachers who are dedicated to ensuring your child has an enjoyable and satisfying creative experience. Each holidays bring new and imaginative ideas, and every artist takes home a stylish creation to be proud of!

All materials are provided. To promote a focused and independent learning environment, we require that parents/carers do not remain in the classroom during art sessions. Students can enjoy this activity under the supervision of our qualified teachers.

Dates and class times vary, so please check individual activities for more details.
