Meet in the Paintings Gallery
When

Sunday 6 April from 10:30am to 12:30pm

The Vegetable Plot will play live in the Paintings Gallery, so put on your dancing shoes and join us for an hour of music surrounded by art.

After the concert we’ll ‘listen’ to the paintings and create colourful art with Andrea, our art educator.

About The Vegetable Plot

Beloved Aussie kids band The Vegetable Plot first sprouted at the 2014 Sydney Fringe, winning the award for Best Children’s Show.

Since then, Aspara Gus, Ru Barb and Sir Paul McCarrotney have travelled all over Australia, playing their funky-fresh tunes, spreading ‘Love and Peas’, and serving up a big wriggling heap of truly rotten jokes.

Now part of the ABC Kids music family, with listeners in over 150 countries, multiple international awards, an ARIA nomination and millions of Spotify streams to their name, The Vegetable Plot has grown into that rare thing: a ‘kids’ band’ that adults enjoy listening to just as much as the kids.

Join us on our mission of Love and Peas! Meet in The Paintings Gallery – Orange room.
