ArtPlay |
ArtPlay is a place where children - from babies to 12 year olds - can explore their creativity and share unique artistic experiences with professional artists.
We have more than 300 workshops, events and performances every year. There are short workshops for young children and extended creative experiences for older children. The artists, workshop content and participants reflect Melbourne's diversity.
Bookings are required for most workshops, however there are also free drop-in events available. Be sure to check out what's on before dropping by.
