Looking for a fun and creative way to keep your children busy these school holidays? The Suter Art Gallery’s workshops are the perfect mix of play, learning, and inspiration, drawing directly from the artworks in our exhibitions.

Held in the Mina Arndt Education Room, with views of the Queen’s Gardens and Sculpture Walk, each workshop offers a fresh theme every term. Our experienced tutors guide children through painting, drawing, sculpture, and mixed media projects, encouraging imagination while building skills in different techniques and styles.

With small group sizes, every child gets plenty of individual attention and support. And because the workshops change each holiday period, there’s always something new to discover.

Get your kid creative, book them into a School Holiday Art Workshop at The Suter today!
