Parents with bubs get together for a mid-week art outing with morning tea.

Join an AGWA Guru Guide and other parents for a tour of portraits in the State Art Collection and Black Swan Prize exhibition, followed by coffee, cake, and lively conversation in the Imagination Room.

Prams/baby carriers and babies up to one year old welcome! Baby change facilities available.

Portraits commemorate, transform, reflect, iconise and sometimes distort their subject in endlessly fascinating variety.

In an exciting new initiative for 2016, AGWA introduces Portrait Month where we explore the many forms of portraiture across photography, painting, video and sculpture. Taking centre focus is the State’s premier portraiture prize, the 2016 Black Swan Prize for Portraiture which features alongside AGWA’s own Portrait Project.
