What feels special to you, and why? For this camp, we invite your young artists to bring a special treasure with them (a toy, book, blanket, or other favourite object) and join us on an exploration of how any why certain objects become precious to us.

Extended care is available.

Join us on Monday afternoons for engaging conversation in our galleries followed by guided art-making activities in our studios. Each week we select one to two artworks from our current exhibitions or our collection to explore in depth.

Guided by our art instructors, participants will be encouraged to become comfortable with sharing what they see, feel and think about art and to experiment with different ways of creating artwork.

Participants of all skill levels are welcome and no previous experience is necessary. The content of this program is designed for participants aged 14+ but you are welcome to bring your younger friends and children with you.

Join us as we explore the exhibitions, engage with interactive activities in the Gallery and create artwork inspired by the exhibitions in our studios. This spring, we explore our relationships to “things” and investigate how certain objects become special to us.

Join us in our studios for a lively student-centered adventure in art-making. Each month, our instructor will guide the group through an exploration of a new theme and technique using storytelling, music and mark-making and then give your young artists time and support to work on their own. Shortly before the end of class, we will all gather to share our artwork and talk about what we learned.

All materials are provided.
