Community Kids' Creations
Yes, the kids also have their hands up to be part of the Serpentine community. During school holidays, local budding artists bring their drawings, sculptures and the other artistic products of their holiday exploits down to the gallery. These artworks adorn walls, windows and display cases for short periods, and hopefully (when we locate the pictures) some of them'll soon be adorning this webpage. Here too will be a selection of photos of the chalk street murals that spontaneously appear at openings.
It's lovely to see the next generation
in our local arts community
feeling free to express their creativity in a public arena.
The Serpentine Community Gallery endeavours to encourage, support and inspire
the younger artists of our community.

"Nemo in Antarctic Waters corner"
When we held the first Toy exhibition, back in 2007, a local youngster, much inspired by the show
and feeling right at home at this community gallery, checked with the gallery and their mum and dad
 then proceeded to make a number of "fully laden" trips to and from their home
to create this impromptu and greatly enjoyed toy installation.
