arts/COOL 2026

Enrolments for Term 1 2026 are open

arts/COOL is the Broken Hill City Art Gallery’s creative learning program for children and teens. Delivered by Gallery Programs Officers, arts/COOL offers small, hands-on art classes where participants experiment with materials, develop skills and learn about art in a supportive studio environment.

Across the year, students explore a range of art topics, techniques, genres and artists. Some projects respond to exhibitions on display at the Gallery, while others introduce broader creative ideas and processes. Classes are process-based and designed to build confidence, curiosity and creative thinking.
