This is a Council led event.

Georges River Libraries.
10/08/2026 - 30/08/2026

How does reading your favourite book make you feel? Maybe it’s soft and pastel; like a gentle hug from someone you love. Maybe it’s bright and polka dotty; full of action and adventure? Synaesthesia is one type of sensory information being experienced through another sense, like seeing triangles when you hear saxophone music, or tasting ice-cream when you read the word Wednesday.
 
For Children’s Book Week 2026 we are inviting children aged 3-18 years old to Tune In to Synaesthesia, and interpret the feeling of reading their favourite book into an abstract artwork. Artworks can be made of any medium you like; paint, drawing, collage… Whatever helps you express a symphony of sensations on the page. Then put those feelings into words and tell us a bit about the image you have created and how it is connected to your favourite book.
 
Submissions need to be returned to the library by midnight Sunday 30 August 2026.
