It’s an afternoon to enjoy our beautiful town and join the family for some fun and adventure.In conjunction with Clarence Valley Council as part of the Healthy Active Scheme the Friends of Grafton Gallery have joined forces with other collecting institutions to host a discovery trail stopping at four different locations around the CBD. Adults and children alike will delight at the wide range of fun activities on offer; there really is something to please just about everyone.A discovery map pointing the way around the day will be available at the first stop at Grafton Regional Gallery from 1pm. Using your map you will be able to follow the trail around the CBD and participate in the art activities, games, tours and more at each stop. There will be opportunities to win prizes and be creative.
At Grafton Branch Library, who are hosting a special Sunday opening for the event you can learn all about the new library for Grafton and design you own fantasy library with everything you can imagine included. This is a chance to think about how important our Library collections are to the community. Selected drawings created on the day will form a Library display after the event. The Library will also be open for loans and returns.
