Little Alserkal Explorers: Creative Trails for Curious Minds
Little Alserkal Explorers is an engaging, hands-on programme that invites children aged 5–11 to discover the creative spirit of Alserkal Avenue through guided exploration, thoughtful observation, and meaningful interaction with art, culture, and community.
Taking place across four Saturdays, the programme offers young explorers opportunities to encounter contemporary art, discover new perspectives, and connect with the people, ideas, and stories that make Alserkal Avenue a vibrant hub for creativity and collaboration.
Through a series of creative trails, children are encouraged to look closely, ask questions, share ideas, and engage with their surroundings in imaginative ways. Each session combines guided exploration and age-appropriate discussions with opportunities for creative expression, helping children develop their curiosity, critical thinking, and confidence in responding to art and the world around them.
Designed to nurture creativity, connection, and a sense of discovery, Little Alserkal Explorers offers a welcoming space for young minds to explore contemporary art and culture, exchange ideas, and learn through shared experiences at Alserkal Avenue.
