Arts Bus 

The artsbus is a mobile arts studio, theatre and music space, enabling AKC to facilitate meaningful, thoughtful and therapeutic arts activities. It brings quality arts practices to children who would otherwise miss out.

The Arts Bus is a weekly program hosted by Artist for Kids Culture for primary school aged children at Park Towers.  This regular program connects kids with artists and offers ongoing opportunities to collaborate on group projects. The South Melbourne artsbus is supported by The City of Port Phillip.
