Join us for an after-school creative adventure! Kids will explore current exhibitions before accessing hands-on art making activities. Over the eight-week program kids will work with a range of mediums, learn new skills, create their own unique artworks, and practice fine motor skills and creative problem solving in a fun environment with new friends.

Led by our experienced art educators, the program includes an end of term exhibition of works for family and friends to come and celebrate.

All materials provided.

$210 per child + booking fee. Creative Kids vouchers accepted.*

Food and drink: Children are welcome to bring a water bottle into the Project Space. If needed, food may be consumed in the SECCA foyer at the seating area outside the SECCA Project Space (note there won’t be a scheduled snack break during the class). Please ensure any food or drinks brought do not contain common allergens. No food or drink is permitted in the gallery.
Clothing: SECCA provides art smocks for children to wear during the class. Closed-toe footwear required.
Parent/carer presence: Parents and carers are welcome to pop into the SECCA Project Space at the start to help their child settle in, if needed. You’re also welcome to wait in the gallery foyer for the duration of the class – seating and viewing windows are available – however you are not required to stay. If your child does require extra support, you may remain in the education space, but please discuss this with SECCA at the time of enrolment.
Allergies/medical information: Your child’s safety is our priority. If there’s anything we should know - such as allergies, medical needs, or other important information - please share it with our team at check-in.
Participation and expectations: To help create a fun and safe experience for all, children are expected to be able to join in the activities, follow instructions, and stay engaged throughout the session. If your child needs particular support to help with concentration or participation, please let us know at the time of enrolment so we can ensure this is the right class for your child.
Photography: From time to time, we may take photos for SECCA promotional purposes. Parents/carers and children will have the opportunity to opt out of photography during sign‑in at the start of the class.
Collection of work made: In instances where artworks are not available to take away immediately after the class, SECCA staff will notify families when artworks are ready to collect. Please note that we have limited storage and require work to be collected within a month of sending notification. Classes are held in the SECCA Project Space accessible via the gallery entrance. Students are welcomed into the Project Space from 10 minutes before class.
Behaviour: On the rare occasion a child's behaviour is deemed too disruptive parents may be asked to collect them and return another day.

Not sure if this program is right for your child? Although we don't offer trial classes, we do offer a variety of School Holiday Workshops each term break which can allow your child to become familiar with our class style, and staff, before committing to a full term.
