What: Children’s Art Activities at Noosa Regional Gallery
When: Sunday 14 March 11am to 2pm
Where: Riverside on the gallery green at Tewantin
How much: Free
This month’s Family Day activities at Noosa Regional Gallery will be inspired by the new exhibition of Australian fashion photography from the 1960s and ‘70s in the exhibition Strike a pose…with Lee Lin Chin.
The free event offers a range of art activities that aim to encourage children to create artworks inspired by the exhibition, which has been put together by the SBS news presenter, Lee Lin Chin – a well-known fashionista.
Sunshine Coast Council’s regional galleries curator Nina Shadforth said kids can be the artistic director of their own fashion shoot.
“Dress up a friend or family member in sixties and seventies fashion and strike a pose,“ she said.
“Activities include paper construction and observational drawing skills of the human form to create a contemporary fashion range.”
Sunshine Coast Council’s Community Programs Councillor Jenny McKay said all ages can participate.
“By exposing children at a young age, both to creating art and viewing it in galleries, we are developing in them an appreciation of art that will give them great pleasure for years to come,” Cr McKay said.
The Noosa Regional Gallery’s creative team of volunteers guide and support children through their artistic adventures and accomplishments.
All activities are engaging, safe and children’s artwork can be taken home.
Don’t forget the famous sausage sizzle at noon.

I have just found a copy of the exhibition catalogue by chance and would like to let you know that the people in the cut off jeans carrying a banjo and double bass are me and my former husband. Could you please pass on this information on to Lee Lin Chin just in case she is interested, or anyone else. I live in Sydney but was from Tasmania at the time we played in a Jazz Band from Tas.
