This September, the historic Adelaide Arcade will come alive with colour, creativity and imagination as Little Picassos Art Studios marks its 20th anniversary with a spectacular showcase of student artwork.

From Friday, 26 September 2025, more than 600 original pieces created by young artists from Little Picassos’ four studios will be exhibited throughout the Arcade, transforming the beloved shopping precinct into a vibrant, gallery-style experience.

Founded in 2005, Little Picassos has spent two decades nurturing creativity and celebrating the artist in every child. Through professional instruction in drawing, painting, sculpture and mixed media, the studios have become a cornerstone of visual arts education for children across South Australia.

The Spring Art Exhibition will feature a wide variety of styles and spring-inspired themes, reflecting the diverse talents of the next generation of artists. Works will be displayed throughout Adelaide Arcade’s middle walkway, alcoves and upper gallery, creating an accessible and immersive experience for visitors in the heart of the city.

Renew Adelaide has played an important role in bringing this celebration to life, partnering with Little Picassos to present the exhibition and host a special launch event on opening night, welcoming families whose children have artwork on display.

As part of the anniversary celebrations, Little Picassos will also host a series of ticketed creative workshops during the Term 3 school holidays, giving children the chance to explore their artistic talents in a fun, hands-on environment. Spots are filling up fast! Book your tickets HERE.
