With Easter school holidays just around the corner, don’t forget to check out what’s on offer at our four local libraries.
Mayor Jenny Whitney said Whitsunday Regional Libraries at Bowen, Cannonvale, Collinsville and Proserpine will again offer a wide variety of free holiday activities for children to enjoy with family and/or friends.
“Come on down and enjoy a great kids movie or a craft session at your local library,” she said.
“The transformative and immersive qualities of camouflage and kaleidoscopes will be explored when ‘Kids on Tour: Patterns Bandits’ also visits Whitsunday Regional Libraries over the Easter school holidays.
“Pattern Bandits is the latest Kids on Tour program from the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA).
“The regional tour has been drawn from the exhibition displayed at GOMA last year, which was created by Los Angeles-based Australian artist Jemima Wyman in collaboration with the Gallery’s Children’s Art Centre.
“The ‘Kids on Tour: Pattern Bandits’ participants will create their own personalised bandannas and perform with the artist's instructional video Pattern Power Moves; create circular collages and discover how patterns can be transformed by movement, and make a digital kaleidoscopic tessellation in the multimedia activity Harlequin Hallway.”
