Art Box for Kids Elisa Jane Carmichael at QAGOMA


  • Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art Stanley Place, South Brisbane Brisbane (map)

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

Our first Art Box for Kids features Ngugi artist Elisa Jane Carmichael who 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).

Art Box for Kids prioritises sustainable exhibition design and the use of recycled or repurposed activity materials where possible.
