Tomorrowland: Cairns Children's Festival Exhibition

Exhibition: Thu 1 May – Sun 18 May
Location: Court House Gallery
Launch: 5pm, Thu 1 May

Curated by Sorami Ochi

What will the world be like when our children have grown up? Our regular children’s art curator, Sorami Ochi asked that very question to the children of Cairns and our Japanese sister city, Minami.

With the help of early childhood educators in Minami, Sorami has extended the annual Children’s Festival exhibition to include works by three primary schools from the region.

Whatever vision and imagination children have for the future, can be expressed through art. Always surprising and delightful, the Cairns Children’s Festival exhibition provides kindergarten and primary school-aged children living in Far North Queensland the opportunity to have their artwork exhibited at an art gallery and receive public recognition for their creativity and skills.

Tomorrowland along with The Art Cases and Star Weaver Pavilion, and will be at Court House Gallery prior to the main Cairns Children's Festival festivities. Please come and explore any time within this period.

9.30am - 5.00pm Tuesday to Friday

Star Weaver Pavilion

Step into a world of colour and creativity at Court House Gallery. This interactive installation is an ever-growing, community-made tapestry, where kids (and grown-ups!) can weave, knot, and create using sustainable materials like bamboo and recycled yarn.

The Art Cases: National Gallery of Australia

The Art Cases program is a core part of the National Gallery’s Touring Exhibitions program. The program comprises art-filled cases, where the works are discovered and handled by adults and children of all ages for both exhibition and hands-on programs such as art making and storytelling.
