Applying glitter paint to the floor at Pom Pom, a new contemporary art space dedicated to engaging children (aged 12 years and under) and their families.

Located in Davoren Park in Adelaide’s northern suburbs, Pom Pom offers hands-on creative workshops delivered by leading artists, many with an international profile, over the school term and during school holidays.

Pom Pom supports an art making process between children and their families and carers, while offering children enchanting contemporary arts experiences.

Unkept brings together the work of Jessie Lumb and Claire Kroužecký, both early career artists whose practices are led by humble beginnings and chance occurrences; a ‘paying attention’ to what is considered commonplace and a responsiveness to everyday sites and materials. Curated by Polly Jean Dance at Contemporary Art Tasmania.
