The Artground has a variety of age-specific drop-in programmes on the weekends that participants will get to enjoy!
From 23th May till 15th September 2019, we present Happy Homebodies – Happy Homebodies features creativity in the simplicity of everyday life. Make new discoveries about common objects at home which are beautifully transformed into an uncommon experience. The magic of this exploration is that it shows children new ways of looking at ordinary objects around us. From a simple dot to the intricate lines that characterise the different parts and objects in a house, journey through the little spaces which open up new possibilities for imagination and innovation! Entry into The Artground itself is free and donations are encouraged.
TAG Drop-in Programmes
Every weekend, The Artground organises a variety of age-specific drop-in programmes that participants will get to enjoy on a first come, first served basis, inside our Whitebox. Each programme will be charged at $10 per parent-child pair. You can purchase a single ticket, TAG cards for 5 or 10 + 1 sessions at $50 and $100 respectively at the reception. There is no registration for these activities as they are first come, first served. An announcement will be made 5 mins before each programme and the first XX number of children in the queue will get to enjoy the programme (XX refers to the age-specified & capacity of the programme, ie Shapes Splash! is for the first 20 children 4 years and up).
1st June, Saturday
- 10.30am: Little Green Thumbs by Cultivate Central - Worms Love Coffee (2 - 3 years): Children will get to meet the friendly creatures that live underground.

- 12.30pm: What Does the World Need to Hear? by Alex Desebrock [Ticketed Performance, booking required, 6 - 12 years]: Australian artist, Alex Desebrock, believes that children are sometimes exactly what the world needs to hear.

This workshop will delve deeper into this big question and invite children to write and draw their answers to be delivered to the general public.
- 3.30pm: String Art Painting by Dyn (3 years and up): Make a unique postcard or greeting card by dipping string into different coloured paint and using the pulled string technique. The possibilities are endless.
