Children of all ages are invited to the Ararat Gallery TAMA (Textile Art Museum Australia) foyer to take part in our free drop-in craft activity, running until January 12. Stop by any time during the Gallery’s opening hours to take part.

Mini Mythical Creatures is a kids activity and exhibition designed by Siying Zhou, Ararat Gallery TAMA’s Artist in Residence. Kids are invited to make their own mythical creatures, inspired by the Chinese dragon, which is a mythical animal from Chinese culture. In China, people believe that the dragon has the power to control clouds and rain. They are powerful protectors of people and animals. The dragon is made up of many different creatures, big and small.

Make your own mythical creature by combining the features of any animals imaginable! You can use the recycled materials provided at the back of the foyer. These will then be exhibited in the Kids Cabinet at reception.
