Family Day

14 April 2018

Fun art activities for the whole whānau on the first weekend of the school holidays.

Explore your creativity with inventive mark-making, and become a Squiggla! Join in with our collaborative drawing or make your own to music. If you have one, bring along your own device and we’ll help you to upload your creations into your own Squiggla Gallery using the Squiggla app. There will also be story time, a fun short film and a family-friendly guided tour of the exhibition, This Is New Zealand. Plus, talented kids play Michael Parekōwhai’s carved piano.
