For Kids & Families

The National Gallery is an inspiring place for people of all ages. Join us to experience art, artists and art making as we embark on a lifelong art journey together.

Our programs for kids and families centre around intergenerational connection and encourage you to grow your knowledge and enjoyment of art through shared experiences. Fostering a love of art from an early age, we inspire creativity, inclusivity, engagement and learning through art and artists.

Whether you join us for creative play at the Gallery or imagine and connect from home, our Kids & Families programs are sure to bring out the childhood wonder in all of us.

Art Together is a series that invites participants of all ages to step into the world of an artist and make something through collaboration. Below are pictures from previous Art Together programs, where kids and their families have worked alongside contemporary Australian artists to paint a mural and choreograph a dance. Go to What's On to book for upcoming events.

Plan an art adventure for the whole family at the National Gallery.

Join artist Claudia Nicholson and her friend E.O. on a journey to explore the Gallery’s Sculpture Garden. Enjoy works of art from all over the world and create your own along the way.
