Art Box for Kids

Art Box for Kids is an exciting new free exhibition series that invites children to meet an artist, see an example of the artist’s work on display, and explore their creativity through a fun hands-on activity.

Ngugi artist Elisa Jane Carmichael  paints, weaves, and uses textiles to explore the beauty of nature and to reflect her family’s connection to the land.

In her activity Shell adornments, Elisa invites children to create their own unique paper shell necklace, inspired by the beautiful eugarie shells (pipis) that can be found on the shores of Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island).

Nice to  know - With 50-cent fares now available across all public transport, there's never been a better time to bring the family for an uplifting visit to GOMA. 

Need to know - 'Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses' is exclusive to Brisbane, only at GOMA until Mon 7 Oct.
