Bella Program for students with specific needs: MCA, Sydney
With the re-opening of the Museum of Contemporary Art (at Circular Quay West) after its recent extensive renovations, programs are up and running again, including the Bella Program, now available every Monday during school terms. Bookings are essential - what a great program for schools to tap into! Did you know it was first established in 1993?
Look, touch, listen and create in the Bella Program. Explore exhibitions, develop new skills and have fun in this FREE art-making workshop for young people with specific needs, including physical, intellectual, emotional or behavioural disabilities.
There are lots of options for metropolitan and regional schools, including digital excursions. Further information and links for bookings are here on the MCA website.
