Student Programs

Foster a love of art with our range of dynamic and art-filled programs designed for all age groups.


Our range of learning programs are designed to enrich your students’ imaginations on site and online. We encourage students to think about and make art in new and critical ways using personal reflection, collaboration and experimentation.

Onsite creative learning can be extended with art making in the dedicated Tim Fairfax Learning Studio. Be sure to book your school program at least four weeks in advance via Book Canberra Excursions. Let us know your students’ needs so we can support their learning, including tailoring programs for students with disability.

Tours, workshops, digital excursions and online learning resources are also available, designed to connect with the Australian curriculum and to enhance creative thinking in students of all ages and abilities.

For further information on programs, call +61 2 6240 6519 or email groupbookings@nga.gov.au. To help plan for an onsite visit, see Plan a School Experience.

Please read our COVID-19 Safety Plan for Visiting Groups before planning your excursion.
