Opera Galleria launches pop up Winter Art Studio for young artists
Opera Galleria is launching an exciting new initiative which will begin this Saturday 6th January. A space in the mall has been dedicated to a pop up art studio for winter themed art activities. The studio, aimed at children between 4 to 8 years old, will guide young artists, during the month of January, through a series of techniques and mediums to create winter themed art.
The activity is open to just 15 lucky children each week and participation is by registration only. Parents may register by sending an email to: og@rohmuscat.org.om
The pop up studio will be a spectacle in itself. Located on the ground floor of the Opera Galleria mall, next to Paris Gallery, the set has been designed to resemble a winter wonderland of snow and polar animals. Icicles will hang from the ceiling, white carpeting will cover the floor and molded blankets of snow will surround the studio.
The events, which are being organised in collaboration with Pop Events, will encourage children to explore different art techniques, use their creative minds to personalise their work and offers them a chance to immerse themselves in this magical winter setting. There will be different activities each week, based on the theme of winter, and participants will receive special tokens to celebrate their attendance.
Winter Art Studio is a free event, with limited space for 15 children every week between the ages of 4 to 8 years which will take place every Saturday from 6th January until the 27th January, from 4 pm to 5.30 pm. Children must be registered to participate.
