Unwind and explore new artistic skills at the Teens Creativity Lounge, taking place at GOMA in South Brisbane during October, November, and December 2026. Designed specifically for ages 13 to 17, these free, drop-in sessions provide all materials and supervision for hands-on projects like mini sculptures, zines, and custom journals.
Teens Creativity Lounge @ GOMA
No pressure. No screens. No cost.
The Teens Creativity Lounge is a free, drop‑in creative space for 13–17 year olds. All materials supplied, all skill levels welcome and everyone included.
We know teens want spaces to connect, create and switch off – and this space is just for that. Stay for the whole session or drop in for a little while, work solo, team up with friends, work together with someone new, or just see what everyone else is making.
Each session features a different hands‑on creative activity, and a chance to create something new and unexpected. Attend one session or all three.
