Events & Programs

1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Taking inspiration from Toby Rabinowitz’s exhibition, A World Within A World, visitors can choose an animal silhouette provided by us and decorate it with brightly-coloured patterns using various shapes and materials.

Toby’s artwork is full of bright, imagined worlds with magical creatures and friends playing together. She says her work is for kids and happy adults – make sure you stop in to look for yourself in the art gallery on level 4.

What magical creature will you create?

Drop-in program – no registration is required.

1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
