Get ready for some wild school holiday fun as Funky Farm returns to McClelland this September and October with their wonderful wildlife talks for kids and families. Come up close with some fascinating Australian native animals, including reptiles, mammals and sometimes birds.

The Funky Farm team will introduce you to the animals of the day, sharing fun facts and stories before giving you the chance to meet, pat and even hold some of these incredible creatures.

When: Wednesday 23 September 2026 + Friday 2 October 2026
Time: 10:30–11:30am
Bookings: https://events.humanitix.com/funky-farm-at-mcclelland-september
Children aged 2+ will need a ticket to attend.

Places are capped to ensure everyone has a special experience and, most importantly, to support the welfare of the animals, so bookings are essential.

And don’t worry about the weather! If it’s particularly hot or raining, Funky Farm will move indoors.

Perfect for curious little wildlife lovers and families looking for something a little different these school holidays!

Discover 40 works from Christopher Pyett’s Pearcedale Portraits series, created between 2021–2026 in oil on canvas panels.

During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, Christopher put out a call to his local community, offering to paint their portraits. What began as a local project grew into an extraordinary collection of 170 portraits, exhibited at Pearcedale Public Hall in June 2024.

Many of the portraits were purchased by the people depicted or their families, and a small selection is now on display at McClelland.

These works also showcase Pyett’s distinctive approach to chromoluminism, a technique where colours are applied in separate, unmixed patches or dots. Rather than mixing the pigments on the palette, the colours blend in the viewer’s eye, creating a sense of brilliance and luminosity.

Come and see these remarkable portraits and experience the colour, character and community captured in Christopher Pyett’s Years of Colour, on until 25 October 2026.

Today we welcomed children and families to McClelland for Symphony of Stories, a magical afternoon of music and storytelling featuring Peter and the Wolf and Four Poems by A.A. Milne, performed by musicians from the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and narrated by Lee Bradshaw.

The day was made even more special when one of our guests, who is 100 years old, brought along a beautiful photograph of herself performing Peter and the Wolf many years ago. Such a wonderful connection across generations.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this very special afternoon of live music, storytelling and connection at McClelland.

Meet our latest Maker in Focus: Kaii Ross Baird

Join us on Thursday 10 September for a free artist talk and live weaving demonstration with Kaii Ross Baird from the McClelland Spinners and Weavers Guild.

A self-taught maker, Kaii's creative journey has taken him from bookbinding and leatherwork using reclaimed materials to becoming one of the Guild's most prolific weavers. His practice blends craftsmanship, sustainability and innovation, drawing on mathematics, mechanics, geometry and colour to create beautifully woven textiles and original patterns.

Discover the story behind Kaii's creative practice, watch a live weaving demonstration, and enjoy the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the fascinating art of weaving.

You'll also have the chance to view Kaii's handcrafted woven works on display in the McClelland Design Store and meet the maker behind them.

Whether you're a maker, textile enthusiast or simply curious about traditional craft, this is a wonderful opportunity to connect with one of our talented local makers.
