Call Out for Workshops and Classes for Kids

It’s time to share your workshops and classes for kids that you have happening across Tasmania on our Facebook and Instagram pages.

It’s coming through loud and clear from our members’ Artist Profiles that being supported and encouraged in their younger years for their creativity was a game changer.

So let’s have more of this happening.

Share with us what workshops and classes are happening for kids in your neck of the woods – the ones that are on during term as well as the school holidays.

Do you have or know of any kids workshops and classes run during the school term and school holidays for primary age and up kids? Do share!

Workshops and Classes

This is all about supporting and celebrating all the creative small businesses (aka artists earning some income from their wonderful talents!!), artists, galleries, shops, art societies, art and craft groups and art retreats who put on kids workshops and classes, members or non-members.

While our members get to be listed on our What’s On directory page, Workshops and Classes, this is also available for all Tasmanian artists and groups.

You’re welcome to drop links into the comments to what you’re up to, and, of course, you’re welcomed to follow Art Trails Tasmania on Facebook and Instagram.

Entries are open for this year's Art Trails Tasmania Art Exhibition

Links in Individual Comments

I’ve learnt from previous call outs that it is best to drop your links in Facebook in individual comments.

This makes it much easier for the links to be clicked on and followed.

It also lets Facebook show the images related to the pages, always a benefit.

Naturally enough, Instagram isn’t as helpful with links. I’d be really happy to fix this but sadly, I don’t have any influence in that area!

But you are welcomed to drop links in the post on both of the platforms.

How to Leave Details to Your Workshops and Classes

Giving context to your links makes the world of difference.

So be sure to actually write a helpful description about what you’re doing.

This is all about helping you to connect to our followers, who will, hopefully, become your followers.

I’ve noticed that the comments with links that include a description as well as the link work much better thank those with just a page handle.

Have Your Artist Story and Events Shared

If you’d like to have your artist story and event news shared here on Art Trails Tasmania and across our socials do be sure to join our flourishing artists community over at the Member’s Hub.

Our Latest Artist Profile Stories

Have your story told in our members only Artist Profile stories. Simply login and follow the links from the Artist Dashboard Account page.

I’m thoroughly enjoying sharing these Artist Profile stories because they are all such a reflection of each artist; they’re so different to each other, interesting, inspiring and motivating. Enjoy having a read of them and be sure to support our artists.

It is also coming through loud and clear in these personal art journeys just how important it was for each of us to be supported and encouraged as kids with our creativity. But apparently finding the kid focused workshop and classes across the state can be a challenge. What an opportunity there is for art groups and societies, TAFE and school art teachers to be running regular classes.

The Art Trails Tasmania blog shares Artist Profiles, Skills Sharing posts and event news

Skills Sharing Stories

I want there to be more arts and crafts in our world, in our communities and in our own lives. Hopefully you’ve found this blog post useful and interesting in your creative journey.

So I’m creating, with your help, Art Trails Tasmania, allowing all of us who feel this love to create more of it.

And the Art Trails Tasmania blog is a key part of making this happen, telling the stories of members. It’s about what they have happening with workshops and classes, exhibitions, open studio trails, where to find their outlets, markets, fairs and festivals so you can shop their creations as well as their art and craft retreats.

Also being shared are the supporters of our artists, the galleries, shops, cafes, art societies and groups, places to stay and artist in residencies.
