Holiday Passport 2026 - Drawing as Doing

Join us this summer at Kunstinstituut Melly and discover the many possibilities of drawing. From 18 July to 30 August, children aged 4 to 12 can take part, free of charge, alongside their parents or carers, in an adventurous art programme full of play, imagination and discovery.

Be inspired by the exhibition Draw Withdraw Redraw, where drawing is so much more than just a pencil on paper. Pick a card, follow a trail, build a story or discover how small choices can spark new ideas.

A world full of surprises awaits in the education room. Help build a giant fort where you can explore, play and retreat for a while. Create a secret garden for yourself or for someone else. Bring your drawings to life, invent new stories and discover what’s hidden in the many drawers, cupboards and secret nooks of the space. Behind every drawer lies a new task, question or surprise.

There’s no set route and no right or wrong answer. Follow your curiosity, try things out and respond to what others have left behind. Our art teachers will help you get started and invite you to explore the exhibition too.

SATURDAY WORKSHOPS (13.00 – 15.00)

Every Saturday, there is an extra workshop in which an artist, together with our art teachers, presents a new creative project. You’re free to drop in and join in.
