Bespoke Incursions

AWESOME offer bespoke incursions to schools in the Perth metro area throughout the year. We can arrange for a professional AWESOME artist to run workshops at your school, and are happy to tailor them to your classes needs with a number of art forms to select from including:

• Illustration
• Circus
• Improvisation
• Printmaking
• Music
• … and more!

Please note: All artist fees are under NAVA rates. Workshops are dependent on artist availability. Due to the AWESOME Festival, we are unable to deliver incursions in September or October.

Little Impressions Exhibition

Theme: What do you dream about for the future?

This year we are asking WA children to harness your sense of wonder to create an exciting future together. Will you be the next Prime Minister? Will you invent something magical and life changing? What will the future world look like? And what are you most looking forward to?

Channel your creative energies into designing a bright flag to add to the AWESOME bunting. We’ll string your collective dreams together to celebrate an inspiring vision for the future.

Entry is FREE! To register for Little Impressions, CLICK HERE!

Participants will be invited to submit artworks to be exhibited at the AWESOME Festival (19 Sept – 1 Oct). Participants in the exhibition receive a curriculum linked educators’ resource kit.
