EDUCATION
EXCURSIONS
The Gallery's Education Programs offer students the opportunity to engage directly with works of art through a dynamic, changing exhibition program. Students will extend their visual literacy and art-making skills by actively participating in art educator-led tours and hands-on workshops individually tailored to their learning needs.

ART NOW: BALNAVES EDUCATION RESOURCES
Art Now: Balnaves Education at Mosman Art Gallery directly targets school-based education from preschool, primary, secondary to tertiary students and includes access for all. The program is based on the Gallery’s reputation as a leading national destination for early Australian Impressionist artworks and The Balnaves Gift. These resources have been developed by Artist Educator Cameron Stead to compliment the NSW Curriculum and are designed to support students and teachers to learn more about the history of works, artists and themes.
The Primary and Secondary Digital Kits are easily accessible to download as a free PDF below and have an accompanying Resource Guide for Teachers and Educators here:
