Workshops at Tūranga

Public Art Education Workshops are delivered from the Activities Room, Level 1, Tūranga library.

Students visit one of our legacy artworks in person and then complete an art-making activity inspired by the experience.

We can take a maximum 30 students per session, with two sessions per day, so 60 in total per day.

Morning sessions are 10-11.30am. Afternoon sessions are 12.30-2pm.

Workshops at your school

We come to school and work within your timetable (minimum 90 minutes per session). Students won’t get to visit the artworks in person, but we can show videos of artists talking about their public art instead.
