update
Message from the lord mayor
ArtPlay is a much-loved space in Melbourne
and its popularity continues to grow. This
season the ArtPlay team will work with first
year Monash University Architecture students
on Card Art Spaces to construct amazing
cardboard structures for children and families
with artist Sue Davis on hand for inspiration.
We also present projects from the ArtPlay
New Ideas Lab program. Nests is a musical
experience for three to five year olds where
children play with instruments hidden inside
large eggs, while Strange Garden invites
children to create 3D plant objects in a large
cardboard garden installation that will fill the
ArtPlay space.
ArtPlay helps the City of Melbourne to be
an inclusive and creative city. We encourage
children and families to come along and
take part in the many free and affordable
activities on offer. There’s plenty to see and
do at ArtPlay

This April school holidays there’s so much
cool stuff on at ArtPlay: Font Factory lets
you construct your own font in 3D then
watch as it converts into digital format;
Weave invites you to make your mark on
a giant cocoon framework; while Splat lets
you go wild with paint flying onto canvass
from various contraptions.

In May, look out for Shelter, where you can
be inspired by shelters from around the
world (igloo, tree-house, yurt) to build your
own cubby in the ArtPlay space. And in
June don’t miss your chance to star in the
stop motion animation workshop Space.
Have your say in how the story plays out
and be part of the action on the set and on
the screen.
Take the train or tram to Flinders Street
Station and walk along the river to ArtPlay
in Birrarung Marr or drive and park in the
nearby Federation Square car park.

Emmelie aged 10 years
Come and join graphic design studio Copy Boy in their fun Font Factory. Workers
are needed to create a font out of nothing but rubbish. Use recycled materials
to make an R out of bottle caps or an M out of sticks, put it on the factory line,
and watch it be turned into a font that you can type with. What crazy letters can
be made? We need your help to make every letter in the alphabet. Make a letter
or simply have fun typing messages to your friends and family using the Font
Factory font.

SHELTER
SUNDAY 5 MAY
ARTIST: AVIS GARDNER and LIZ WALKER
Shelters come in all shapes and sizes. Tree-house, skyscraper, caravan, tepee or
igloo – what kind of shelter does your family live in? What kind of shelter can you
imagine and what kind of shelter would you like to build?
Come and be inspired: by environmental artists Avis Gardner and Liz Walker; by
the many types of dwellings from all around the world; and by your imagination.
Construct a ‘shelter’ using a collection of found and recycled materials. Then
create a picture that reflects what you think are the most important things you
have in your home.
A photo of you in your shelter plus your drawing will form an exhibition at
ArtPlay later in the year.

Come to the giant nests at ArtPlay to discover the enchanting music they conceal.
Nests is all about musical discovery. A soundtrack of birds, trees and running
streams will evoke an inspiring musical environment.
Instruments hidden inside large eggs – rich, beautiful, unusual instruments that
you can’t wait to pick up and play – will fill the space with evocative sounds as
children interact with each other and acclaimed musician Tony Hicks.
This is the third and final installation of Nests, created by Gillian Howell, Ken Evans
and Rebecca Russell.

live on Mars and some silly farmers who decide to paint their sheep. Package 2 has

as you hold her or him. The pace is baby pace, so there will be plenty of pauses to
allow for you to check in with your baby’s responses, and to possibly notice your
own as well. This workshop is designed as an experience for parents, babies and
the group as a whole to enjoy together.

like many little dance steps and one large song. We can both be big, we can both
be little and we can always play together.
Whether it be a drawing, story, song or memory, find and bring the funny with
