Participation and content

Parents and guardians are invited to join in with songs and sensory games to help engage their babies throughout the program. You are welcome to participate or just listen
Pram parking will be available at this event
The exhibition tour involves walking and standing for short periods of time. We recommend using a baby carrier or sling during this portion of the program, however if you prefer not to carry your baby, prams are also welcome in the gallery spaces
Parents rooms are available at Dogwood Crossing

Sensory aspects
Please let us know in advance if you or your child are hard of hearing so we can make this tour accessible for you
Due to the nature of our young audience, ARTful Beginnings can get a little noisy. There may also be low level noise from a nearby artwork or the sounds of the Gallery
Floor cushions, ottomans and stools without backs will be available during the sensory play session at the end of the program
The Gallery air conditioning is set to 21°C to conserve the artworks. We recommend bringing a light jumper or jacket with you
