‘Now is the Time’ is about young creative minds engaging with art and expressing their views on the important contemporary issues.

Create your own climate change placards, make a bespoke protest T-shirt design, vote for what you care about, and share your climate message on collaborative drawing sheets.

Drop-in to enjoy a range of hands-on art-making activities encouraging us to reflect on climate change and the environment.

Developed by contemporary Australian artist Raquel Ormella in collaboration with QAGOMA, ‘Now is the Time: Kids on Tour’ draws inspiration from posters with historical and contemporary protest imagery engaging our youngest audiences through art on the most important contemporary issues related to the environment.
