https://form.jotform.com/221768939049875 After registering, students can collect a blank sketchbook from Whitford Library in January. They will be contacted when their book is ready to collect.
They have 2 months to unleash their creativity and fill their sketchbook with their art, poetry – however they want to express themselves - before returning it to Whitford Library by the end of March.
The Sketchbooks will be displayed in a micro-exhibition at Whitford Library, before being displayed at the Sketchbook Exhibition at the State Library after the KickstART Festival. Once that has wrapped up, the books go on a travelling tour around the state, visiting libraries all over WA.The sketchbooks will be returned to students in Feb 2024.
