Bendigo Art Gallery is again collaborating with DATTA to provide a Professional Development morning focusing on Tudors to Windsors, exclusive to Bendigo in Australia.  Tudors to Windsors: British Royal Portraits will be held at Bendigo Art Gallery 16 March to 14 July 2019 and features more than 200 treasures from London’s revered National Portrait Gallery, many of which have never before seen outside England. 

Tudors to Windsors: British Royal Portraits 
16 March to 14 July 2019

Royalty has always used portraiture and imagery to promote and maintain power.

Our annual Teacher Welcome will feature wine and refreshments, a presentation of the highlights of our 2019 education programs, a Curator’s introduction and exclusive viewing of our outstanding international exhibition Tudors to Windsors. This is a great chance to meet other teachers of a variety of subject areas and find out about how the gallery staff can welcome your school groups to our exhibitions.

Professional Development for Art and Design teachers 

This program enables teachers to be guided through three new exhibitions all which focus on elements of costume, fashion and design. 

This year’s December Professional Development will cater for both primary and secondary teachers with workshops providing skills and ideas for teachers of all year levels.

In 2019, teachers will have a last chance to inspire students with our four special exhibitions in February; then the 2019 exhibition year will continue with our international exclusive Tudors to Windsors.
