Brainstorm: Inside the mind of Andy Griffiths | HerCanberra

Everything you need to know about canberra. ONE DESTINATION.

Brainstorm: Inside the mind of Andy Griffiths

  • A sculptural portrait of a man, depicted several times. One figure sits in a tree and one stands.
  • A room with a wall labelled 'Brainstorm Inside the mind of Andy Griffiths' and a large reading area.

Once upon a time, in a not-so-faraway land, there was a Gallery that decided to commission a portrait of Andy Griffiths!

Put on your comfy adventure boots and step inside the mind of the best-selling children’s author who has captivated readers across the globe. The epic new portrait of Andy Griffiths by multidisciplinary artist Ronnie van Hout is accompanied by Brainstorm, an immersive reading space where curious visitors can explore books, music and weird and wonderful treasures from Andy’s personal collection that inspire his hilarious books. As Andy says: ‘Every child (and adult!) has an imagination, and the more you feed it and exercise it, the larger and more powerful it becomes.’

Feed your mind and ideas will follow.
