Dive into a creative and engaging art activity inspired by the Bay Discovery Centre’s latest exhibition, Of This Earth, featuring artist Billy Bain’s Plan B (Dog Walker). This hands-on experience invites you and your children to follow simple step-by-step instructions to construct your very own cardboard dog.
Once completed, your unique creation will become part of a vibrant mural displayed in the foyer of the Bay Discovery Centre, allowing your family to contribute to a community art piece celebrating First Nations culture and contemporary artistic expression.
This activity is perfect for parents looking to inspire their school-aged children with a fun, educational art project during school holidays or weekends.
The event runs daily from Monday 13 July 2026 through Sunday 16 August 2026, between 10:00 and 16:00. You can drop in any time during these hours to participate at your own pace.
All materials needed to build the cardboard dog will be provided, making it easy and accessible for families to join in without any preparation.
This activity is free of charge, making it an excellent option for a budget-friendly day out that combines creativity with cultural learning.
The activity takes place at the Bay Discovery Centre, located at 1 Moseley Square, Glenelg 5045. The centre is family-friendly and easily accessible by public transport or car, with nearby parking options.
The mural and activity space are situated in the foyer, providing a welcoming environment where families can comfortably engage in the art-making process.
Glenelg is a popular beachside destination, so you can combine this creative experience with a day at the beach or exploring local cafes.
This event is suitable for children accompanied by parents or guardians, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for all participants.
Please allow enough time to complete your cardboard dog and add it to the mural, as the process is designed to be enjoyable and unrushed.
While the activity is free, spaces may be limited during peak times, so arriving earlier in the day is recommended for a relaxed experience.
No booking is required for this drop-in activity, making it easy to fit into your family’s schedule.
Participation is completely free, encouraging families from all backgrounds to enjoy this cultural and creative experience.
