In collaboration with New England Regional Art Museum, the gallery has created challenges tailored to people living in social isolation. There will be a different task every day between April 13 and April 26.
Each day of the school holidays a new artwork will be posted on the Facebook and Instagram platforms for the gallery and museum, and people are encouraged to create a piece of work in response.
The program is targeted at kids, but anyone can get involved.
To join the online project, creations should be posted on social media with the hashtag #NENWkidsartchallenge.
The Tamworth gallery put up a taste of what's to come on the program - teasing challenges such as 'pet portraiture' and 'Wearable art from found objects!'.
Tamworth Regional Gallery has delved into online workshops and exhibitions since the facility closed down indefinitely.
It said people can explore different events by subscribing to the Tamworth Regional Gallery YouTube channel, visiting the website, or though Facebook and Instagram.
