Art Box for Kids

Art Box for Kids is an exciting new free exhibition series that invites children to meet an artist, see an example of the artist’s work on display, and explore their creativity through a fun hands-on activity.

Ngugi artist Elisa Jane Carmichael  paints, weaves, and uses textiles to explore the beauty of nature and to reflect her family’s connection to the land.
