Who can attend?
The ArtPlay building and workshops are accessible to people with disabilities. Our workshops are open and flexible, and we are able to accommodate the needs of all children. If you have a child in your class with an additional need, please make our staff aware of this when you make your booking. This ensures that all students can be actively involved in the workshop.
Make the most of your trip to the city by exploring other venues in the area. Before or after your visit to ArtPlay, you can visit:
- The National Gallery of Victoria
- The Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI)
- The Victorian Arts Centre
- Melbourne Museum
- Royal Botanic Gardens
Our playground offers a spacious area to sit, rest and have a snack. ArtPlay does not provide a morning or afternoon tea break while the workshops are running, so make the most of what our playground and outdoor space has to offer – take a break before or after ArtPlay.
ArtPlay is a secure building, which is locked at all times during the workshops. This is for both security purposes and to ensure that your time at ArtPlay is enjoyable and undisturbed. ArtPlay guarantees that all safety precautions are taken during workshops and that there is a staff member trained in first aid on the premises at all times.
