🎨 PARENTS & PRAMS: Mix, Mash & Make | Wed 3 June

Before we dive into June, we’re still smiling about our May Parents & Prams session. The gallery buzzed with tiny hands, focused faces and moments of pure delight as children explored clay freely — squishing, rolling and shaping in their own time. Parents shared conversations and the quiet joy of watching their children completely absorbed in play. A simple reminder of how powerful hands on making can be.

🌈 What’s on in June
Our June Parents & Prams workshops invite young children to explore colour through gentle sensory play, with three session times to suit your morning.
Children will mash, mix and experiment with natural materials, create their own paintbrushes, and make expressive marks on paper — building curiosity, coordination and confidence along the way.

While little artists create, parents and carers can relax, connect, and afterwards enjoy CREATE EXCHANGE: Painted Up by Dean Biŋkin Tyson.

✨ Designed for children aged 0–5 and their families
✨ No pressure — just discovery and joy
✨Wed 3 Jun at 9.30, 10.30, 11.30am

🌟 National Volunteer Week 2026 | “Your Year to Volunteer” 🌟

This year’s theme, Your Year to Volunteer, celebrates the contributions of volunteers across Australia—and invites everyone to get involved in a way that suits their lifestyle.

Volunteers are the backbone of our communities. They contribute billions to the Australian economy and play a vital role in community services, arts, sport, and emergency response. Volunteering also builds connection, supports wellbeing, and creates a strong sense of purpose.

At Redland Art Gallery (RAG), our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. 💛

Thank you for the passion, dedication, and energy you bring to the gallery—helping create welcoming, inspiring experiences for visitors every day.

Volunteering at RAG comes with great perks. You’ll meet artists and attend volunteer talks for each exhibition, so you feel informed and confident with visitors. You’ll join a supportive community, build friendships with like-minded people, and enjoy an enriching connection to art, culture and community.

If you’re passionate about the arts and want a meaningful way to get involved, make 2026 your year to volunteer.

We’d love to hear from you—register your interest anytime and become part of our community. More info here: https://artgallery.redland.qld.gov.au/opportunities/volunteering-at-rag/
