Lockdown doesn’t have to mean locked OUT of the arts! The teams at Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre, Penrith Regional Gallery, Penrith Conservatorium and Q Theatre have worked hard to put together an impressive array of online activities and resources to keep the arts open and accessible for all ages, while we all work together as a community to stay safe. 

There are educational opportunities to feed creative minds like art workshops, music lessons and drama activities to try at home and the return of last year’s popular Creative Care Packages! Plus, there are fantastic resources listed on their Keep Hearth Penrith page qtheatre.com.au/keep-heart-penrith/. This includes digital links to arts around the world which include a VERY comprehensive list for kids and families, art, drama, talks and ideas, literature, music, comedy, dance, film, education, nature and gardening, puzzles and games, and more.
