School holiday programs

Decorate a Mandap with colour & crepe paper!

Free holiday drop-in art activities for everyone!

Workshop Room, Artspace Mackay
Saturday 21 September to Sunday 1 October 10am - 5pm Tuesday to Friday, 10am - 3pm Saturday & Sunday (closed Mondays)

Inspired by Zanny Begg’s video work ‘Stories of Kannagi’ on show at Artspace Mackay, we’ve constructed a Mandap (a four post structure traditionally used in India for special ceremonies) and we need your help to make it a special, beautiful and colour-filled space!

This activity is for all ages and abilities, so bring your family and use the many colourful crepe-paper streamers and instructions provided to make a variety of beautiful garlands to adorn the Mandap. Together, we’ll create a thoughtfully decorated structure that brings joy and helps you to feel special just standing within it!

Make sure to take a photo of you and your family inside the Mandap to take home!

Free to attend, no bookings necessary.
