Creative Learning

Ngununggula’s Creative Learning Program nurtures creativity and enjoyment of the arts for all ages and abilities. We align with school curriculum outcomes while inspiring meaningful engagement through accessible and engaging educational activities. Our tailored school program includes guided exhibition tours and art-making activities that support students and teachers in understanding the world of visual arts. For every exhibition, we produce Education Kits, Learning and Activity Resources, Artist interviews and Online Workshops, which are accessible via our Online Resources. We also have opportunities for young people to get involved. Find out how to join our Youth Committee, or be a participant and come along to our Teen-Only Events!

ngununggula student art prize

Ngununggula's annual Student Art Prize is open to all students in the Southern Highlands. Presented in our Education Space, the Art Prize is themed to our annual summer exhibition. Available to all local students, we work collaboratively with schools to help students develop their winning artworks.

Youth Committee

The Ngununggula Youth Committee are a group of young people aged 13-18 years from all over the Southern Highlands region. Recruited annually, this energetic group brings diverse experiences, ideas and insights to programming and events, including our teen-only events, THE HAUNTING and SUMMER LIKE ITS HOT!

Where the Wild Things Are

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE is an annual all-school project facilitated by Ngununggula. We invite a contemporary artist to design an engaging workshop program for primary students, culminating in a collaborative performance at Ngununggula. The program's overarching theme is the natural world, encouraging students to tap into their 'inner wildness' and explore new ways to express themselves through art and performance.

Learning Resources

Our evolving library of free Learning Resources provides engaging educational tools for students and teachers to learn about all art forms!
