The Zeitz MOCAA’s BMW Centre for Art Education is hosting a Children’s Winter Holiday Programme titled Cosmic Creatures and Constellations. It runs from Tuesday, 1 July – Friday, 4 July, 2025
This workshop series is inspired by Zeitz MOCAA’s current exhibitions: UNDERSTUDIES, Selections from the Collection, Sala, and The Other Side of Now by artists such as Nolan Oswald Dennis, Frances Goodman, Jody Paulsen, Cyrus Kabiru and Tuan Andrew Nguyen.
Inspired by the current exhibitions
This year, each activity is inspired by current exhibitions on display at the museum, so go and journey through their imagined galaxies.
The activities are offered at different levels of complexity to accommodate different skill levels and age groups, ensuring maximum fun and engagement. Different activities are planned each day.
Workshops are open to all children and teens aged 6 – 16 years. Children will be registered at the beginning of the class and only parents and guardians will be allowed to sign children out when they want to leave. Younger siblings (5 years or younger) must be accompanied by parents or guardians at all times, if they wish to participate in the workshop activities, with a brother or sister. We welcome teens who would like the opportunity to create amongst and alongside younger children.
On each day, the workshop will begin at 10:15 and run uninterrupted until 13:00. Children may also take a break for a snack in between the activities.
Children are reminded to wear activity clothes, but aprons will be provided.
Members’ children are invited to participate in the workshops free of charge.
Zeitz MOCAA Membership is R390 for 12 months.
For non-members, a single entry with your child is R250.00 per person.
Parents and guardians, you are requested to deliver your child/children to the workshop venue where they will be registered. You will be guided to the venue on the day.
Do not leave your child/children unaccompanied in the reception area. Direct any queries about the workshops to education@zeitzmocaa.museum.
