About

Art Box for Kids is an exciting new exhibition series that prioritises sustainable exhibition design and the use of recycled or repurposed activity materials where possible. Each Art Box for Kids exhibition will invite children to meet an artist through an introduction video, see an example of the artist’s work on display, and explore their creativity through a fun 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. In her activity Shell adornments, Elisa invites children to create their own unique shell necklace, inspired by the beautiful eugarie shells (pipis) that can be found on our shores.
