 This "Art Smarts" Play-stallation

  We invite families to come and enjoy our current Play-stallation — Art Smarts, open until end of June,  it offers a vibrant, educational art experience for kids. Drawing inspiration from Calder's mobiles, it features thematic areas for crafting mobiles, 3D art creation with Floam inspired by Brancusi and Rodin, and a mini Sistine Chapel for ceiling painting activities emulating Michelangelo. Additionally, a Book Corner with art books, coloring materials, and areas dedicated to teaching art terms, exploring African mask art's influence on Picasso, trying Seurat’s pointillism, and participating in a Hockney-inspired communal collage project, enrich children's understanding of art while fostering creativity.
