Wyndham students might be returning to school this week, but one of the free school holiday programs they were able to enjoy is continuing on.

Chromatica: Colour Play a free interactive art exhibition will remain open at the Wyndham Cultural Centre until July 22.

A joint initiative of Wyndham council and arts group Indirect Object, the exhibition includes installations, workshops and activities and is open from 11am to 3pm at the The Annex art space.

Wyndham councillor Marcel Mahfoud said Chromatica was about creating immersive, colourful experiences and art based learning for children of all ages.

“The installations range from helping to create a glowing forest of 3D neon webs then seeing how it looks through a mirror prism to a large-scale modular kaleidoscope, where you can turn the wheels to create endlessly changing colour patterns.”

Chromatica is open from Wednesday to Saturday, but the workshops where children can learn how to recycle plastic and create mirror prisms from recycled cardboard, only run from Thursday to Saturday until July 15.
