Abstract
The original catalyst for a children's Art Show was a child's question. Our centre had been involved in a children's photography project which included learning about cameras, taking photos and recording children's voices. The final results were presented at an external exhibition. One of our kindergarten children, Lily - five years old - asked where the exhibition was and could we go there. I told her she could go with her parents. 'Will my friends and teachers be there?' she asked. I explained that they wouldn't be. Lily decided then and there that she wanted an exhibition for her friends and family. We started discussing what this would look like and how we would do it and so the Children's Art Show was created, with its first exhibition held in 2011 at the centre.
