Community Festival of Sculpture, Mindfulness & Slow Art

To celebrate International Slow Art Day in April, this festival will be an interactive program over 14 days. Taking place at McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery, the entire community will be invited to participate in free daily art workshops including photography, moving image, dance, drama, visual art and sculpture, complemented with mindfulness classes including nature and labyrinth walks, yoga and tai chi. An artist will lead the design and installation of a large scale sculpture that everyone will build collectively by adding a small piece, building it slowly over time as a community and exhibited during the festival.

Celebrate art in Langwarrin! Connecting and bringing families, schools and community together. Through a collective installation, the community will create a beautiful sculpture together.
