FAQ  

> Do parents/carers need to stay and supervise or can kids be dropped off and picked up?
Parents/carers do not need to stay at the gallery during the program. We have amazing art educators who will be with the kids at all times. Parents, carers, and friends will be invited to celebrate the opening of the 'Brave Young Artists’ exhibition on the last day, Friday 29 September 2023.

> If a family is unable to attend one or two of the scheduled dates, should they still register?
The program is designed so that each day includes specific workshops and guest speakers that build upon each other, leading up to the final exhibition on Friday. Therefore, we encourage families to register only if their child can attend all of the sessions.

> Is there a contact phone number that parents can call if they have questions before or after registering?
For any enquires please contact Keir Semenov, Education & Public Programs Coordinator at events@lindenarts.org or (03) 9534 0099.
