Narrabri Shire Libraries will host a series of Virtual Reality Art workshops during this month, giving young people the opportunity to create immersive artworks using cutting-edge VR technology.
The two-hour workshops, suitable for ages 12 and over, will introduce participants to Tilt Brush, a virtual reality art tool that allows users to paint, sculpt, and design in three-dimensional space. Participants will also receive a digital export of their artwork to share.
Mayor Darrell Tiemens said the program highlighted Council’s commitment to creative and innovative opportunities for young people.
“Our libraries continue to evolve as places of learning, creativity, and connection,” Mayor Tiemens said.
“These workshops offer young people a chance to explore new technology while expressing themselves creatively, right here in our local community.”
Library Coordinator Naomi Radford said the program would appeal to both beginners and experienced creatives.
“No prior experience is needed – just curiosity and imagination,” Ms Radford said.
“Virtual reality opens up exciting new ways to make art, and we’re pleased to be able to offer this opportunity during the school holidays.”
The program is supported by funding from the NSW Government through the Office of Youth.
Workshops will be held at Wee Waa Library on Thursday, 22 January 2026, and at Narrabri Library on Friday, 23 January 2026, with an additional VR taster session at Narrabri Library on Friday too.
Bookings are essential and places are limited. For more information, contact Narrabri Shire Libraries.
