Don’t forget to drop your child’s creative art

Don’t forget to drop your child’s creative artwork in to Capital E by tomorrow to be part of the Wellington Children's Art Exhibition!
With the theme of “draw what home means to you” there’s lots of inspiring prompts to get started – what would your home look like on the moon? What would it look like if you were the size of an ant?

Artwork will be exhibited at @museumswellington and then selected artwork will be shown in a children’s art exhibition in Sakai, Japan.
