  • Connect with the natural world through a series of animal-inspired painting and sculpture workshops brought to life by African storytelling with We Are Studios’ Emmanuel Asante

  • Unlock the process of extracting pigments from herbs, hulls, leaves, weeds, flowers and more to incorporate nature’s hues onto your own textile piece in a workshop with artist Gianna Hayes

  • Take part in Polyglot Theatre’s immersive experience Ants where children can choose how they interact with big ‘insects’ and become part of their world

  • Join Archibald-winning artist Wendy Sharpe for an artist talk where she explores the magic of the creative process in conjunction with her exhibition Spellbound

  • Experience a new durational choreographic work performed by Murruwarri/Wiradjuri artist Tammi Gissell, made in response to Francis Bacon’s 1976 renowned painting Study for self-portrait
