Dear Diary - Kids "Disco" Workshop

Kids Workshop — Disco Edition

Hosted by visual artist and teacher, Shanay Manitzky, in the heart of the Dear Diary exhibition. This hands-on workshop blends contemporary and impressionist art techniques with storytelling, colour, and a little disco magic.

Young artists will learn how to apply basic acrylic painting techniques to create their very own disco ball artwork on a 30 × 30cm canvas. We’ll explore colour, light, and pattern while encouraging each student to express their unique ideas.

The session is relaxed, encouraging, and designed to help students build confidence while having fun.

What’s included:
• 2-hour guided workshop
• All art materials provided
• A completed artwork to take home
• Light lunch provided
