SWELL 2025 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 12 – 21 September 2025 in the Wallace Nicoll Park, Currumbin Beach.
SWELL School Workshops will be held in pop up studios onsite, the workshop facilitators include artists who are exhibiting in SWELL 2025. 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 2025 exhibition. Workshops are targeted to year levels 3 – 8, however can be altered for senior students to include a curated sculpture tour.
Workshop times are 10AM, 11AM and 1PM on Friday 12, and daily from Monday 15 – Friday 19. 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.
