Come Along and Journey through Imagined Galaxies at Zeitz MOCAA
This Children’s Winter Holiday Programme of workshops is inspired by Zeitz MOCAA’s current exhibitions: UNDERSTUDIES, Selections from the Collection, Sala, and The Other Side of Now by artists such as Nolan Oswald Dennis, Frances Goodman, Jody Paulsen, Cyrus Kabiru and Tuan Andrew Nguyen
The Children’s Winter Holiday Programme runs over the 2025 Winter school holidays from Tuesday, 1 July to Friday, 4 July.
The activities are offered at different levels of complexity to accommodate different skill levels and age groups, ensuring maximum fun and engagement. Different activities are planned each day.
Workshops are open to all children and teens aged 6 – 16 years. Children will be registered at the beginning of the class and only parents and guardians will be allowed to sign children out when they want to leave. Younger siblings (5 years or younger) must be accompanied by parents or guardians at all times, if they wish to participate in the workshop activities, with a brother or sister. The museum welcomes teens who would like the opportunity to create amongst and alongside younger children.
On each day, the workshop will begin at 10:15 and run uninterrupted until 13:00. Children may also take a break for a snack in between the activities.
