Surfers Paradise
In this ArtLab workshop, we’ll engage various art mediums and etching techniques to bring our own rainbow reefs to life!

Imagine a world of unique, brightly coloured tropical fish darting in and out of the dark depths of the ocean! Night diving is a past time of renowned Australian painter Ken Done, who uses visions of the reef as inspiration for his iconic, expressive artwork.

ArtLab workshops provide kids the with the opportunity to explore visual art ideas, materials and techniques that respond to HOTA Gallery exhibitions to create a unique artwork of their own.

Recommended for ages 6–12 years. Children must be accompanied by an adult or carer and cannot be left unsupervised at any time.

This workshop is inspired by HOTA Gallery exhibition Ken Done: No Rules, open 13 September 2025 to 15 February 2026.
