NGV Kids on Tour: Lots of Dots with Yayoi Kusama

Each summer the National Gallery of Victoria [NGV] works with regional galleries to offer FREE art activities to children and families. Kids can explore the works of NGV artists then create their own art. Find out more at: NGV.Melbourne/Kids

Pumpkins often appear in Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama’s artworks. Taking the spirit of the summer NGV exhibition Yayoi Kusama direct to community venues, this activity introduces children and families to one of the world’s leading contemporary artists. In this activity, Yayoi Kusama invites children to add their favourite colourful dots to their pumpkins. Gallery staff will provide a range of additional activities inspired by Yayoi Kusama’s artworks.

Ages: 4+

Children under the age of 9 must have a carer present to assist.

NGV Kids on Tour is an initiative of the National Gallery of Victoria. NGV extends sincerest thanks to Event Partner Officeworks, for their generous support of NGV Kids exhibitions and programs.
