In Cooktown - 16th January 2010 Kids APT One Day On Tour

 

Cooktown School of Art Society has arranged with the Queensland Art Gallery Of Modern Art (GOMA) to show a Kids’ Asia Pacific Triennal - APT - on tour program as part of the Summer Festival.  This will be at our gallery.  It involves a "one day program of highlights to be held throughout the state.  Regional galleries will host a free day of activities simultaneously with the Queensland Art Gallery.  Saturday 16 January 2010 between 10.30am and 2.30pm". 

Kids’ APT on Tour features interactive activities for children and families created by a number of artists in the exhibition. The exhibition offers children and families insights into contemporary art across the Asia Pacific region.

This should be a great event to hold in Cooktown and to get kids involved on the day.  As GOMA sends us information I'll post it to this blog. 

 

Cooktown was going to participate in 2008 APT which was the ‘Andy Warhol Summer Festival – Queensland’ held on 19 January 2008.  We also missed the chance to host ‘Kids’: Contemporary Australia on Tour’ held on 19 January 2009 so now we are involved for 2010 we are hoping this will be successful so we will be able to continue to host Kid's APT on Tour in the future!
