One of Sydney's biggest galleries is welcoming a supersized collaboration. Inclusive organisations The A List, Create Space Art Initiative and Aspect have come together with the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia with an event that makes you the artist.
The MCA, in partnership with beloved stationery brand Faber-Castell, invites people of all ages to the gallery on Saturday, March 15 for a drawing bonanza. Whether you're an adult or young family, there's a drop-in activity for you.
Draw your way from the MCA forecourt at Warrane (Circular Quay) all the way through the building. From a giant outdoor chalk canvas to the Level 3 Family Space, experiment with different drawing materials and build your own structure using cardboard. As you move throughout the museum, watch the cityscape grow and murals move up the stairwell.
All these free activities are inspired by the colourful and energetic Julie Mehretu exhibition. It’s one of the major summer installations as part of the Sydney International Art Series 2024-25. You'll need a ticket for this must-see show – though it’s free for children under 18, Australian students and MCA members.
On Saturday, March 15, the MCA is your canvas all day long. Find out more here.
