People of all ages are welcome
Attend Saturday workshops and become familiar with a variety of visual art techniques! We organise two separate but identical Saturday workshops. Register at Ticket Sales on the day of the workshop.
You are most welcome to attend, whether you are an art virtuoso or are holding a paintbrush for the first time in your life! Both adults and children are welcome in the workshops. Admission is free for those under 18 years old.
The workshops are recommended for ages five and up. Children under the age of 10 must be accompanied by an adult. The workshops include instruction, necessary materials and equipment. Each workshop lasts for 1 hour and 15 minutes and is held in the Ateneum’s workshop space on the second-level mezzanine.
The Saturday workshops are not for groups.
