Art Gallery of South Australia: A Good Place to START

A Good Place to START

Count your crayons and sharpen your pencils because school holidays are here and it’s time to get creative at the Art Gallery!

The Art Gallery of South Australia holds START at the Gallery on the first Sunday of every month. The program is a fun and FREE way to introduce little ones to the wonderful world of visual art. START includes art activities, tours, live performances and entertainment suitable for children (aged 3-12) and their families. With the Colours of Impressionism Masterpieces from the Musée D’Orsay and 2018 Adelaide Biennial currently exhibiting it’s also the perfect time to visit the Gallery.
