Children & Family Programs

Enjoy a range of accessible and hands-on activities for creative children and culture savvy families. There is something for all ages, and our events are either low cost or completely free.

Art Cart

We are very excited to announce that our popular Art Cart program has returned to both Saturday and Sunday. Just drop in between 10.30am and 12.30pm, no bookings required.

School Holiday Workshops

Join Gallery educators in a small group setting for workshops inspired by the exhibitions on display, using a wide range of materials.

Children's Art Trails

Our Art Trails are a great way to entertain children in the Gallery, offering questions, puzzles, clues and quirky pieces of information.

Newcastle Art Gallery acknowledges the Awabakal and Worimi people as the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and live. We recognise their continuing connection to land, water, culture and community, and pay our deepest respects to Elders past, present and future. Newcastle Art Gallery is dedicated to honouring the culture and traditions of our local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities through the visual arts.
