ARVO ART CLASSES ARE BACK!! Term 4 is off to a ROARING start! Such amazing creations. And such happy lil’ artists.
We have spots left in Monday and Tuesday afternoon classes (4 til 5pm). Enrol NOW ❤️ And please shout out with any questions!!
Introducing “Patchwork Portraits” NOW SHOWING at MoPA - from OCT 6 right up until NOV 30.
“Emotions and Well-being” is a hugely important component of the Early Years Learning Framework (“EYLF”); and it’s what MoPA’s brand new activities are all about. Every child that visits MoPA this month will be invited to use our craft templates and materials to develop their very own conceptual characters - and then to bring their creations to life using a range of powerfully emotive features.
Happy apples?
Grumpy brushes too?
Surprised Pops?
Maybe... Maybe not.
It’s entirely up to you :)
Our past character-building workshops have been HUGE - and we’re positive that “Patchwork Portraits” will be no exception. We can’t wait to see you all at your local MoPA this October!

That’s right! Monster Madness is BACK and it’s showing from Monday Sep 8 until Sunday Oct 5.
This SuPeR sCaRy (not!) puppet making activity has been a huge hit with our little learners; probably because it encourages children to streeeeetch their already incredible imaginations. It also happens to be a brilliant opportunity to work on those all-important problem solving and fine-motor skills - with lots of colouring, testing, changing, cutting and pasting.
All guests to all our Museums are invited to use the materials and media provided to dream up a unique monster-osity. And as always, all our activities are included in the ticket price. We can’t wait to see all your gorgeous creations!!
Make something super special for Dad (and all the important people in your life!) at MoPA this week. This gorgeous activation is available at all our Museum’s and runs right up until Fathers Day!! x
