Cost:  FREE, artworks range from $35-450

Review

Childhood themes are strong in this collection of works – the family pet, favourite TV show, treasured books and awkward family photos.  While the memorabilia is a trip down memory lane for adults the subject matter is still relevant to the kids – it seems toys and TV shows haven’t really changed that much.  I could instantly pick out many pieces I would happily hang in my kids rooms… what a great way to add some real artwork to a child’s bedroom – something you can both love.  This sweet little exhibition is only open for 11 days so don’t miss it.

There is also a wall where you can add your own artworks – or if you can’t part with them, you’re also welcome to take them home and stick them on your own fridge  🙂
