Description

Box Hill Community Arts Centre was the first centre of its kind built in Australia. More than 30 years on, it is still a thriving hub of community activity and creative exploration. This weekend will give people the opportunity to discover this unique, bright and beautiful arts building, which was designed by award-winning architect Gregory Burgess in conjunction with the artistic and creative local community at the time. The garden was originally designed by landscape architect Kevin Taylor.

What's On

There will be opportunities to meet working artists and to learn what it takes to run an arts facility which hosts weddings, parties and more in this changing city landscape. Tours, family activities and entertainment will be available across the weekend.

Children's Activities

Sunday will feature child-centred family workshops, including Make Your Own Arts-House, where kids will build fantastic cardboard box arts houses; California Dreaming, where children and families can learn about and then design their own Californian Bungalow; and Mosaic Magic, where families will be able to tour the Centre’s mosaics, followed by a paper-making mosaic masterpiece workshop. Numbers will be limited, so don't forget to book!
