Get ready for a fun and inspiring after-school art experience designed especially for primary school aged children. Local artists Sima Alikhani and Saqlain Binte lead engaging sessions that encourage creativity and skill development. Each week offers a new opportunity to explore different artistic techniques, from delicate watercolour painting to vibrant mixed media projects.
These sessions are perfect for children who love to express themselves through art and want to learn new skills in a supportive environment. Parents can relax knowing their kids are in the hands of experienced facilitators who make art accessible and enjoyable.
Bring your child along for a creative adventure where mess is part of the fun, and new friendships can blossom.
The Kids' Art Club runs every Thursday from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM starting 15 October and ending 26 November 2026. October sessions focus on watercolour techniques with Sima Alikhani, while November sessions explore mixed media with Saqlain Binte Saleh.
All art materials are provided, but parents are encouraged to bring art smocks or aprons to protect clothing. Children under 9 years must be accompanied by a parent or carer, and due to COVID-19 safety measures, only one adult may accompany each child or group.
The cost is $10 per session, making it an affordable way to nurture your child's artistic talents after school.
