Mudgee Arts Precinct presents Culture Dose for Kids

Published on 12 December 2023

Mudgee Arts Precinct is inviting children between the ages of 9 and 12 who are experiencing mild anxiety to take part in an eight-week program in a small group setting at the gallery. A free program for their parents and caregivers will run at the same time.

Engagement with the arts can help young people connect to their feelings, thoughts, and imagination. It can build self-confidence, and resilience, foster social connections, and improve mental health and wellbeing.

Participants will visit the gallery each week for a 2-hour workshop over eight weeks starting on 2 February 2024. Artist/Educator Michael Bourke will be presenting the course to a group of students who will be in years 4 – 6 in 2024. A parent or caregiver will accompany each student and will also be involved in the program.

There is no cost. All art materials, resources, and morning tea is provided.

Culture Dose for Kids is a partnership between the Art Gallery of New South Wales and the Black Dog Institute, supported by the Jibb Foundation.
