McClelland is pleased to present a series of participatory creative workshops for students of art and art teaching. Aleks Danko, one of Australia's foremost conceptual and performance artists together with Jude Walton will lead workshops which explore the space where sculpture, drawing and movement intersect. Each will take place in the comfortable and elegant space of the Sarah & Baillieu Myer Education Pavilion at McClelland, overlooking the park’s natural amphitheatre.

This is an extraordinary opportunity for artistic people looking to build confidence and expand their understanding of creative practice.
