IMPORTANT UPDATE: In light of the significant increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in the community, Penrith Regional Gallery has made the decision to cancel our forthcoming Community Day, this Saturday 8 January. The Community Day was an opportunity to celebrate The Archibald Prize 2020 Regional Tour, which will close this Sunday 9 January, and as such there is no option to postpone. The safety of both the community and our staff is critical in making these difficult decisions. The winner of the People’s Choice Award will be shared on our social media platforms on Saturday afternoon, as well as a recap of the Young Archies finalists.

Explore pattern, light and colour in this special exhibition visit and workshop. Kids will meet artist Abdullah M.I Syed and look at his current exhibition: FROM THE COLLECTION X ABDULLAH M.I. SYED: Unframing Sight: Transparency and Reflections before creating their own vibrant artwork inspired by Islamic geometric pattern. Participants will go home with their own transparent artwork perfect for displaying on a window at home.

Suitable for 9-12 yrs
