Juvenilia – Early Works of Children’s Authors & Illustrators

Culcairn Library

Culcairn Library will host an exhibition of the early childhood works of some of Australia’s best loved kids’ authors and illustrators.

The Juvenilia exhibition is a collection of more than 100 pieces from over 20 of Australia’s award-winning children’s authors and illustrators.

The exhibition includes two former Australian Children’s Laureates, Alison Lester and Ursula Dubosarsky as well as well-known writers such as Andy Griffiths, Graeme Base and Danny Katz.

Insightfully curated by local children’s author Aimee Chan, this intimate collection is an insight into the early creative writing and drawing of some of the most established authors and illustrators in Australia.

Children will be inspired by the fact that Australia’s most prominent creators all started their creative work as children.

Cost: FREE during library opening hours.
