ART STUFF

ART STUFF is the home of City of Melville Creative Learning Programs for children and young people. Here little art lovers can explore all sorts of opportunities to explore art and creativity with artists.

Become a member of ART CLUB! Work with artists, make art!In our first after school series for 2025, participants will work with local improv-musician and sound artist Saskia Willinge to explore what music can be, what it can include, and how we listen to the world around us.For Saskia, music includes all the sounds around us, meaning that any sound can be music, and that any object (played any way) can be an instrument. Through a series of fun exercises and activities, participants will learn to change how they listen to and engage with the world around them, as well as having lots of opportunity to be really silly and let loose! Meeting weekly at Wireless Hill Museum, participants will have the unique opportunity to use the collections and histories of Yagan Mia Wireless Hill as inspiration to create new stories through sound and music in different formats.Collaboration and solo practice will both be explored, according to participants preferences, with an (optional) opportunity for the group to perform as part of the <a href="https://ae.tonelist.com.au/" title="https://ae.tonelist.com.au/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Audible Edge Festival </a>on 6 April.
