📍 The Write Gallery 



Come join us in The Write Gallery for our Term 3 exhibition Home is Everywhere, inspired by multi-award winning children's book, The Truck Cat.


This exhibition focuses on belonging and what it is to be home, and ensures an opportunity for children to co-exhibit as the work they create during the workshop will be displayed!


Click 'Register" to see the available timeslots for scheduled groups to come in for a free gallery tour and an in-house workshop based on the multi-award-winning book The Truck Cat by Deborah Frenkel and Danny Snell.
