During the period of closure our Education Officer Sietske Jansma will be visiting schools to take the Sarjeant Gallery collection and stories to the children of our community. Please contact Sietske by email or phone direct dial (06) 349 0543 ext. 3276 to make a booking and discuss what type of programme you would like.
We recommend you book in advance to ensure that you get the day and time that you want.
