PLAY DATES at AGWA | July School Holidays

AGWA’s exciting school holiday PLAY DATES program, is the perfect way to connect with art, spend time together, and see the gallery from a whole new perspective.

 

This July, AGWA launches its newest exhibition, Re-PLAY which inspires endless hours of play and a joyful return to hands-on, human connection. This bold and interactive exhibition is the result of a powerful collaboration between AGWA Learning and celebrated Western Australian artist Maxxi Minaxi May.

 

As part of PLAY DATES, AGWA is hosting school holiday creative workshops, family guided tours, NAIDOC Week celebrations and book readings with famous Perth faces, featuring Channel Seven’s Matt Tinney, Channel Nine’s Tracy Vo and Channel Ten’s Beau Pearson.

 

Re-PLAY launches on Saturday 5 July with a family fun weekend.

NAIDOC Week activities are held across Australia each year to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC is celebrated not only in Indigenous communities, but by Australians from all walks of life. The week is a great opportunity to participate in a range of activities and to support your local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.
