Planning Your Visit

Visits are FREE for booked education groups and can be tailored to suit your curriculum requirements and timetable
We recommend booking early to ensure that you get the day, date and time that suits your requirements
When making a booking please indicate which education programme you would like to do—we offer a range of programming options
Pre-visit information is accessed on this website or can be sent to you on request to assist with planning your visit
For programmes that include a workshop component, allow a whole morning or afternoon for your visit. The gallery usually opens at 10am but an earlier opening time can be arranged with our educators prior to your visit
It is an EOTC and safety requirement that teachers bring a class register
We recommend a ratio of one adult per 8 primary students
Food, drink and photography is not permitted in the gallery spaces
There are many great places around the gallery to eat your lunch such as Civic Square, the lagoon and Frank Kitts Park
Follow up your visit back at the classroom with discussion about the artworks the students saw in the gallery, and their artworks produced in the gallery classroom
