Kids at Arts Centre Melbourne
January - June 2012
Welcome to the January to June 2012 program for Kids at Arts Centre Melbourne.
Kids at Arts Centre Melbourne is a year–round program engaging children and their families together in the performing arts.
For our January to June season we have international and Australian performances, workshops and events for kids of all ages. There are also exciting summer and April school holiday programs and we’ll be returning to The Famous Spiegeltent from February to April with Sunday events.
We thank our donors and program partner for their support. Their ongoing involvement helps ensure that we spark the creativity and imagination of new Arts Centre Melbourne audiences.
