Get excited and creative! Brave Young Artists is back these school holidays!

Join us for five days of creativity, curiosity, and hands-on artmaking at Linden. Across four fun-filled workshop days, participants will experiment with different materials and techniques, meet artists and curators, and discover what happens behind the scenes at an art gallery.

From making artworks to thinking like a curator, Brave Young Artists will explore the many roles involved in bringing an exhibition to life. Along the way, they’ll develop ideas, create new work, and collaborate with others in a supportive and playful environment.

On the final day, participants will transform the Linden Breezeway into their very own exhibition space, installing and presenting an exhibition of their artworks for family and friends to celebrate.

> Suitable for ages 8–12. This program is free to attend, but bookings are required to help us prepare materials and resources.

* Our team is always available to assist, please let us know if you need support during your visit. Please find Access information HERE.
