Bold and colourful patterns take over at Gallery

‘Pattern Bandits’ is the latest Kids on Tour program from the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) and it will be at Noosa Regional Gallery from Tuesday April 7 – Sunday April 12 and the Butter Factory Arts Centre, Cooroy from Tuesday 14 April – Saturday 18 April.

Kids will be able to create their own mandala or play the Harlequin Hallway game on a giant smart table.

“Pattern Bandits' looks at how patterns are used as a marker of personal and group identity” QAGOMA Director Chris Saines said.

The regional tour has been drawn from the exhibition displayed at GOMA last year, which was created by Los Angeles-based Australian artist Jemima Wyman in collaboration with the Gallery’s Children’s Art Centre.  

There will be a Special Pattern Bandit Family Day at Noosa Regional Gallery on Sunday 12 April from 11am to 2pm. Come dressed up and blend in or stand out with camouflage, paisley, black and white dazzle, tie-dye or rainbow colours to win an amazing Pattern Bandit Prize.
