* The Visual Treasure Hunts are underway at ArtPlay. Head to the hunting page where you can download clues and find out more about the hunting game!

The Visual Treasure Hunts encourage kids to tap into their natural observational skills and to creatively expand their visual awareness through photography, drawing and text.

They are supported by The City of Melbourne through their annual Arts Grants program. For more detailed info visit the hunting page here.
