As part of the Hartley Discover Day on Sunday 3 May, 2026, Central West artists led by Renata Commisso and Cate McCarthy, will be running workshops for children aged 4+ followed by a street parade.

Workshops at 11am OR 1pm

Inspired by the local native birdlife, children (and their adults) will make, paint and create their very own bird to take home. Once made, our movement and performing artists will guide the children in exploring how their bird moves. 

Workshops run for 1 hour.

Street Parade 2pm - 2:30pm

All workshop participants are invited to bring their bird and join a street parade led by a giant bird puppet — a fun way to be an active part of the day!

Gather at 2pm · Parade starts 2:15pm · Approx. 15 minutes

No experience needed - just some curiosity.

This activity has been made possible by the generous support of Regional Arts NSW, Arts OutWest, NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service, LINC and Milk Crate Theatre.
