SWELL 2026 is excited to once again be presenting SWELL Kids Elements, an area for children to immerse themselves in the creative culture of sculpture. SWELL Kids Elements will operate alongside the main exhibition from 11 – 20 September 2026 in Len Wort Park, Currumbin.
SWELL School Workshops will be held in pop up studios onsite, the workshop facilitators include artists who are exhibiting in SWELL 2026. The children who participate in the workshops will be able to create their own artworks and make the connection between the exhibiting artist who is teaching them and their large-scale sculpture featuring in the SWELL Sculpture Festival 2026 exhibition. The workshops range from P – 12, as we can amend the content based on age group.
Workshop times are 10AM, 11AM and 1PM on Friday 11, and daily from Monday 14 – Friday 18. Workshops run for 40 minutes and the layout is 6 workshops per day with 25 students per workshop approximately. Many schools book out a full day of workshops (150pax) and then walk amongst the sculptures once the workshops are finished. The cost is $20 per student including GST. Use the online booking form to indicate what dates and times best suit your school.
