Engagement with the arts can help young people connect to their feelings, thoughts and imagination. It can also build self-confidence and resilience, foster social connections and improve mental health and wellbeing.
Culture Dose for Kids is an eight-week arts engagement program for kids aged nine to 12 with mild anxiety. Parents/carers play a vital supporting role in this program and are invited to participate in CDK simultaneously in a different space. The program consists of two parts: a guided slow look at artworks in the gallery, followed by an hour of playful art creation.
Culture Dose for Kids will provide a safe, structured space for kids and their parents or carers to engage with and respond creatively to curated artworks in a small group setting. Led by artists educators Aaron McGarry and Aviva Reed, the program will be held over eight consecutive weeks.
This program is free, but registration is essential. Art materials, resources, and morning tea will be provided.
