Wangaratta Art Gallery is excited to once again present the very popular National Gallery of Victoria Kids on Tour 2025 program these summer holidays. From drawing decorative cakes and creating wearable party hats to playing fun party games, activities from the NGV are coming to Wangaratta. There’s art to make for every age!

This year the free workshops will feature art-making activities and games facilitated by educators David Godkin and Glenis Rice. Each workshop will engage, delight and inspire every child and parent that attends with a variety of themes and art making techniques. Designed to ignite the imagination and encourage creativity, the NGV has collaborated with artists and designers to create a series of workshops for children and families including:

  • Make a Party Hat, Take the Cake and Party Games inspired by NGV exhibition Let’s Party! Fashion for Kids Designed by Danielle Brustman.
  • What's New? Inspired by a suede purse shaped like a classic 1960s telephone, this activity invites children to have a conversation with an adult about how phones and everyday life have changed over the years.
  • Perfume in the 1700s using your favourite imagery from nature, fantasy, street art, or pop culture, teens will be encouraged to imagine and express their personal style.
  • Nature and Us explore the natural world through engaging creative activities by contemporary artist, Olaf Breuning.
