Children’s Art Centre

The Children’s Art Centre presents a range of programs, enabling children and families to engage with the Queensland Art Gallery’s Collection and major exhibitions. 

The Children’s Art Centre is nationally and internationally recognised for its diverse and stimulating range of programs, artist projects and exhibitions for children. These are designed to introduce young audiences to artists and their ideas in ways that are appealing to children.

Since 1998, the Gallery has presented children’s exhibitions featuring art works from the Collection, and interactive projects held in conjunction with major exhibitions, including The Silver Factory: Andy Warhol for Kids (‘Andy Warhol’, 2007–08), Yo Picasso Kids and the Contemporary Media Lounge (‘Picasso & his collection’, 2008) and The Met for Kids (‘American Impressionism and Realism: A Landmark Exhibition from the Met’, 2009).

In addition, the Children’s Art Centre works directly with contemporary artists, who participate in developing projects for the Kids APT program held in conjunction with the Asia Pacific Triennial exhibitions and others, such as ‘Contemporary Australia: Optimism’ in 2008 (Kids: Contemporary Australia).

The Children's Art Centre also presents a vibrant program of artist-run workshops, activities, publications and festivals held across both Gallery sites and throughout regional Queensland.
