While at home, get creative with our Art Cart Activity Sheets themed around current exhibitions and special events, available for free download.

School Holiday Workshops

Join Gallery educators for workshops inspired by the exhibitions on display, using a wide range of materials.

Children's Art Trails

Our Art Trails are a great way to entertain children in the Gallery, offering questions, puzzles, clues and quirky pieces of information.

Newcastle Art Gallery acknowledges the Awabakal and Worimi people as the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and live. We recognise their continuing connection to land, water, culture and community, and pay our deepest respects to Elders past, present and future. Newcastle Art Gallery is dedicated to honouring the culture and traditions of our local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities through the visual arts.
