National Gallery of Australia: Art Cases
Have you ever wanted to see – and touch – works from the National Gallery of Australia?
 
The National Gallery of Australia’s Art Cases offer the chance to do just that, and they are coming to Burwood Library and Community Hub for November!
 
The Art Cases program includes five, themed art-filled cases which travel to community centres, schools, libraries, art centres, galleries and aged care homes. Works are examined and handled by people of all ages for a hands-on experience of learning, artmaking and storytelling.
Book in today for your opportunity to interact with these amazing artworks, then join us for an artmaking activity inspired by the art cases!
