Education & Tours
The Dax Centre’s education programs explore the life stories, artworks and creative practice of artists and creatives who have a lived experience of mental health issues and/or psychological trauma
Our education programs break down the stigma around mental health issues and lead to a greater understanding of how mental health impacts people’s lives and the role of art and creativity in leading a fulfilling and mentally healthy life
Supporting many curriculum areas and capabilities, all Education Programs offered at The Dax Centre provide a safe and supportive environment in which students can engage in discussion and activities promoting mental health and wellbeing through art.
The Dax Education Tertiary Program offers tailored tours for undergraduate and postgraduate students within a multidimensional framework through which to view the artworks. These programs are run for undergraduate and postgraduate students in health care, humanities and the arts with clear curriculum links. The tours range from 1 – 1.5 hours and include a guided tour of the gallery
The Dax Centre offers an exclusive opportunity for secondary and tertiary students to go behind the scenes in an operational gallery. Students will view our current exhibition discussing the curatorial and design decisions as well as gaining access to curatorial working spaces and storage facilities housing the Cunningham Dax Collection. Students gain insight into the methods, roles and considerations involved in the preparation, presentation, conservation and maintenance of artworks for an exhibition and in the Collection
