Nurture the artist inside

Get absorbed in an art project these holidays at Noosa Regional Gallery.

Noosa Regional Gallery is offering free art activities for kids every day during the school holidays plus low-cost workshops with the first program for teenages beginning today.
Gallery co-ordinator Nicole Maggs said the program was a “fantastic boredom buster”.
“Our free art activities are designed for primary school children and their families but we are now encouraging teenagers to get involved as well,” she said.
The first program for teenagers is an all-day Street Art workshop with David Houghton, on Thursday 11 January, for Grades 7-12 students, running from 10am to 3.30pm.
Finished artworks will be displayed in Noosa Council facilities in March along with the Stencil Art Prize exhibition.
The school holiday workshops continue next week with guest artist Kim Schoenberger creating ‘Clay Minions’ and ‘Dada’ design workshops with tea bag collages.
“It’s amazing to see parents still engrossed in one activity while the children have already moved on to their next,” Nicole said.
General workshops are $10 per person and the Street Art Workshop is $45 per person with all materials included.
