School holiday workshops
We will be hosting school holiday workshops with Archibald Prize 2023 artists. These will be available on our events page closer to the time.
The interactive September School Holiday Portrait Workshops are exclusively designed for kids. Our workshops, led by talented Archibald Prize 2023 finalists, provide children with a unique opportunity to explore their creativity, learn essential art techniques and embark on an unforgettable journey into the world of portraiture.
Throughout the workshops kids will learn essential techniques, including proportion and capturing a human likeness, as our Archibald Prize finalists share their expertise, tips and tricks.
From beginners to more experienced young artists our workshops offer a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.
