MAMA Teens Art Space
Meet people. Make art. Explore ideas. Be yourself. MAMA now has a permanent creative space for high-school age teens on the Level 1 Mezzanine.
Work Experience
Students will experience all aspects of a working art museum, including exhibitions and curatorial, education and public programs, and visitor experience.
Placements are limited. We strongly recommend students apply early, and consider organising alternative work placement options.
RAW
RAW is an annual open call for artists aged 16 - 21, showcasing the best original artworks being produced by young people of the Murray region. The resulting exhibition highlights the unique perspectives and experiences of our local young people with artworks ranging from painting, drawing, photography & digital media, and sculpture & installation.
Teen Sketch Club
Join a sketching session facilitated by an experienced educator, where you’ll sketch in response to an artwork on display in the museum. No previous art-making experience is necessary.
Volunteer
Volunteers play a crucial role in enhancing our visitor's experience by offering valuable insights and assistance. For those interested in arts and culture, volunteering is an excellent way to meet like-minded people, and join the MAMA team.
