Lunar New Year: Art In Motion

Inspired by the Lunar New Year and the spirited Year of the Horse, children will be guided by illustrator and author Freda Chiu to create a fantastical horse artwork with movable parts. Using mixed media, children will use their imagination and character design techniques to create their own illustrations.

CHILDREN'S LIBRARY PROGRAM GUIDELINES

Our activities are designed specifically for the age range stated. Age requirements are set based on content and to ensure a fun experience for all participants. Please consider this before booking your child in for an activity.

Places are limited, and bookings that do not meet the age requirements will be cancelled so another child that meets the age requirement may have the place.

Entry may be refused where an attendee is not within the age range advertised.

If you are unable to attend the activity, please cancel your booking as soon as possible to enable another child to participate. You can also contact the library on 02 9392 5588.

As library programs have limited spaces, failure to notify staff of cancellations on more than two occasions over a 12-month period, may result in bookings being refused in the future.

Parents and/or carers of participants under the age of 11, must remain in the vicinity of the program, in case of emergency and to collect the child at the end of the advertised program session time.
