January – April 2013
Regional Queensland families can celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the Gallery's 'The 7th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art' series (APT7) when Kids' APT7 on Tour comes to their local venue.
The popular 'On Tour' program comprises a range of artist projects developed by the Children’s Art Centre especially for children and family audiences. The program provides Queensland communities the opportunity to enjoy the APT7 and Kids’ APT7 festivities at their local venue. Kids’ APT7 on Tour will enable children to explore and experience diverse contemporary art styles and approaches through a range of activities including drawing, multimedia interactives and moving image.

Parastou Forouhar presents an activity for children and families that uses the script of the Farsi language. Children are invited to create their own zoomorphic image - an animal form shaped from Farsi lettering.
