This year, for the first time, the Out of the Box Festival is co-presented by all the Partners of the Cultural Centre – Queensland Art Gallery, Queensland Museum South Bank, State Library of Queensland and Queensland Performing Arts Centre.
A QPAC initiative, Out of the Box is Australia’s leading arts and cultural festival for this age group and, in collaboration with early childhood teachers, artists and researchers, has been developing extraordinary arts experiences for children since 1992.
In putting together the 2008 Festival program for Out of the Box, we have worked around a simple theme – Sharing our Stories.
