Calling All Young Creators of the Weird &amp; Wonderful!We’re thrilled to invite youth from across Karratha to dive into our 2025–2026 Youth Program - a wild and whimsical journey leading to the epic youth exhibition 'FREAKY LITTLE FRIENDS', coming to life at the Red Earth Arts Precinct in March 2026.As part of this monster-sized creative adventure, we'll be running hands-on workshops where young people will unleash their imaginations to build their very own paper-maché creatures - from googly-eyed gremlins to tentacled troublemakers. And it gets even better: these creations will be professionally photographed and transformed into a quirky, magical animation by Port Hedland videography artist, Amelia Blanco!All works will be featured in a full-scale, immersive installation - a world where weird rules and wacky is wonderful. We want the wildest ideas, the messiest monsters, and the freakiest little friends your imagination can conjure. No idea is too strange.
