Free Tour Packages are limited to 20 students. For enquiries and bookings contact Julie Danilov jdanilov@wollongong.nsw.gov.au
Worksheets are created to enrich student engagement within selected exhibitions. These are free to download and can be used for any self-directed tours for schools. Families with children are also invited to use these worksheets when they visit.

This program works in conjunction with the current exhibitions on show at the Gallery. This program provides Visual Arts students across the Illawarra with a full day of visual art workshops, Gallery and exhibition tours - a great opportunity for your students to be creatively extended.
