The CEAC children’s programme is planned around the four term school year and includes term classes and holiday courses for 5 to 14 year olds. Our classes are open to students of all abilities, and provide tuition by specialist art facilitators in a friendly, supportive environment where students have the unique opportunity to be inspired by the artists working on site, and engage with the exhibitions in the CEAC Gallery.
Arts Access Subsidy Programme
Thanks to the support of the Waitakere Licensing Trust, a 50% discount on Children’s Art Classes is now available to children whose parents hold a current community services card and are Waitakere City residents.
Spaces are strictly limited so get in early to avoid disappointment.
