Venue: Court House & Mulgrave Galleries

9:30am Thursday 15th May 2025

Dates: Thu 1 May – Sun 18 May
Location: Court House Gallery
Launch: 5pm, Thu 1 May

The Art Cases program is a core part of the National Gallery’s Touring Exhibitions program. The program comprises five art-filled cases that travel to schools, libraries, community centres, arts centres, galleries and aged care homes, where the works are discovered and handled by adults and children of all ages for both exhibition and hands-on programs such as art making and storytelling.

For Cairns Children’s Festival, two of the Art Cases will be on display:

Red Case: Bodies
The Bodies Art Case brings together works that explore the lived experience of biology (flesh and blood) and how our bodies influence memory, space and form.

Orange Case: Form and Function
The Form and Function Art Case brings together works that blur the line between art and design. Each object can be used for everyday tasks - serving tea, giving light, or even grinding pepper - but has been created with great care and attention to detail that goes beyond the simply functional.
