IAG Kids: đť‘Žđť‘Źđť‘śđť‘Łđť‘’
Get ready to walk in the sky these Summer school holidays at Ipswich Art Gallery!
‘above‘ is an immersive art experience, created in collaboration with artist Kellie O’Dempsey, inviting you to step inside the clouds.
The interactive space transforms with the rolling colours of sunrise to sunset, allowing you to cloud-gaze, draw, and explore what lies beyond our atmosphere.
It’s not just an exhibition to look at; it’s a world to step into, celebrating the sky as the one space we all share.
At Ipswich Art Gallery from 21 November 2026 – 14 February 2027. (Gallery closed for Christmas/New Year from 24 Dec-3 Jan incl.)

Kellie O’Dempsey creates site-generated installations and performances that integrate projection, video, collage, architectural space, gestural line, performance and digital drawing. Created in both solo and collaborative formats with sound artists and contemporary dance practitioners, O’Dempsey’s diverse practice explores, deconstructs and heightens the concept of public space as shared experience. O’Dempsey manipulates space and alters perception to transform and reinvigorate the familiar whilst establishing a sense of brilliance.
Using performance, play, line and colour, O’Dempsey’s public productions enable an inclusive form of cultural interaction. The immersive site installation and performance drawing works invite the audience to engage directly with the visceral process of making. Kellie’s past performances include: Art after Dark; Pier 2/3; 18th Biennale of Sydney; MONA FOMA, Hobart; White Night Melbourne; and the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra and Botanica 2021 in the Brisbane Botanical Gardens.
