Out of the Box Festival of Early Childhood

Since 1992 Out of the Box, Australia's leading early childhood arts and cultural festival, has been developing extraordinary arts experiences for children in collaboration with early childhood teachers, artists and researchers. Approximately 46,500 children, parents, teachers and families attended the 2008 Festival, which for the first time extended across the Cultural Centre. Out of the Box returned in from June 2010, with a program of free and ticketed performances, workshops, exhibitions, and creative spaces especially designed for children 8 years and under.
