Family Day: Watercolours

Sunday 6 July

10am - 3pm

FREE

A day filled with free water-themed fun and entertainment for the whole family! Children can get hands-on in the art-making activities, meet the Gallery’s own ‘spider-man’, learn the amazing art of ice-sculpting, see artworks brought to life and watch theatre, music and dance performances. There’s plenty for the adults too, with events including Water Walk guided tours, getting to know watercolours, and information sessions on waterwise living with the opportunity to win a water tank for your home, donated by the Water Corporation. 

The Watercolours Family Day will officially launch the Art Gallery’s new Water Walk, a trail which guides visitors to selected artworks from 'Wonderlust' which explore the complex relationships between people and water in all its forms and uses. The Water Walk is the result of a new partnership between the Gallery and the Water Corporation using art to strengthen community awareness about themes such as water usage, water as a scarce resource, and water as a force of nature, and will be accompanied by visitor and education activities and programs over the next three years.
