Zeitz MOCAA’s much-loved holiday programme is back for its autumn edition with nine exciting workshops for kids aged six to eight years and nine to 12 years. The workshops are inspired by architectural spaces within the museum and children will be introduced to 2D and 3D mediums to create their own architectural visions in an environment that encourages playful investigation of materials and techniques. Workshops will take place at the CFAE on level -1, the Scheryn Arena on level 0 and on level 6 at 10 am for children aged six to eight years and at 2 pm for children aged nine to 12 years.
A maximum of 20 children will be allowed per session and all COVID-19 protocols will be strictly observed. Parents are requested to deliver their children to the Centre for Arts Education (CFAE) on level -1 of Zeitz MOCAA for registration. No children must be left unattended in the museum.
Children of Zeitz MOCAA members participate free of charge while single entry to accompany your child is R210. Zeitz MOCAA memberships can be purchased here for R290 and are valid for 12 months.
