A vibrant graphic featuring a bright orange background with colorful confetti and streamers scattered throughout. A paintbrush with a red handle and blue bristles is splattering yellow paint, and a tube of paint at the bottom left is squeezing out a rainbow-colored swirl.

A workshop for 6-12 year olds and their families. Express yourself and create amazing artwork. This activity is part of the Queer Up Duck! Festival.

In this playful session we will create colourful fingerprint paintings. Choose your favourite colours and use your hands to make art that shows your personality.

All art supplies will be provided, just bring your imagination. The best part? Your artwork will be featured in an exhibition at Broadway Gallery as part of the Queer Up Duck! festival, so everyone can see your amazing creation!

Children must be accompanied by an adult.
