Teaching Creativity, Possibility & Belonging
The team of educators here at MoPA are a group of the most incredible teachers you could hope to encounter: salt-of-the-earth, passionate professionals who care deeply for your child’s education and wellbeing.
Our Afternoon Art Classes are designed for primary-aged children of all capability. They provide amazing opportunities for art, creativity and self-expression (well, of course they do!) however it’s the relationships that develop over the course of the term, and the confidence the children find in themselves, that make the MoPA program magical.
For class detail, schedules and pricing, please first select your local museum:

WE CAN’T THINK OF A MORE IMPORTANT CELEBRATION…
Every one of us (including YOU!) is unique and special. Harmony Week is a celebration of these differences.
To help visualise and celebrate the diversity of our gorgeous MoPA community we’re inviting guests to decorate their own character and we’ll add your art to our community collage in the museums. Starts Monday!
BE INSPIRED... BY NATURE!
As the Autumn breezes blow in, and the bugs fill the garden, we’re reminded that nature truly is one of the greatest sources of creative inspiration. MoPA’s educators have been digging in the dirt (not even joking)... and, inspired by all the furry, wriggly, winged things they found, they’ve designed some gorgeous new activities that celebrate nature.
“THE ART OF NATURE” runs from March 3 to May 31. All the activities and art supplies are included with your ticket.
WE ARE HIRING!!
OK, so… We may look like a full pack of pencils, but we’ve always got room for more greatness.

Working with people and organisations that are values-aligned has always been such an important aspect of the work we do at MoPA. Our guests, our team, our partners, they’re all hugely passionate about play and creativity.
And when the team at @tonies_anz chose to celebrate their Australian launch at MoPA, and arranged for @emmamemmamemma to drop in for a dance party, we were absolutely THRILLED.
The team were a true delight to work with and the launch of @tonies_anz was a huge success. Wishing you all a happy and successful 2025!! x
Mmmmm… Heavenly! 😍🎨🧑🎨
Q: Is it a real car?
A: Yes, and each has a special place in our ♥️
Q: Do you ever clean it?
A: Yes, but the timing is a hot debate. 🧽 There is so much beauty in the layers, but also purity and timeless charm in its bare form.
Q: How do you choose the colours?
A: Have you ever stirred up a slurpy? 🥤 If we’re not careful, it ends up brown; our team have become experts in avoiding that! 😆
Q: Why? Just why?
A: All our exhibits are thoughtfully crafted to support early learning and creativity. Our world is full of boundaries and conformity (in most cases, for good reason!). The MoPA Art Car exhibit 🚗 is designed to give children an opportunity to do something that doesn’t “feel” within the confines impressed upon us; to help them see, experience first-hand, and learn, that creativity can so often be found in media and forms we never imagined would combine.
🏆 WIN WIN WIN 🏆
