Mapping Out the Permanent Collection

 

‘Connect to Many Museums’ now on ‘Art at Home’!

While many museums have created new pages and projects during this period of social distancing, others have had strong online presence as an extension of their community outreach. We’ve selected those who’s experiences include art making activities and viewing special material.

As a member of the Canadian Museum Association, we hope you enjoy this adventure, discovering other museums and their incredible online art activities.

Free Creativity Kits for the Community

Our learning team and volunteers are busy making FREE Creativity Kits for the community and community groups such as; Alberta Health Services – Adult Program and Addictions Centre, Odyssey House, Friendship Centre and more!  We hope to distribute more kits in the coming weeks to community organizations like these to enrich the community and use art making as a form of relaxation and reflection during these challenging times. 
If you are an organization or group wanting to participate in the initiative, please let us know how many you would like and we will be happy to deliver them to your location. Contact jamie-lee@aggp.ca or call 780-357-7480.

We acknowledge that we are located on Treaty 8 territory—the ancestral Land of the sovereign Dane-zaa, Nehiyawak, Dene, and Otipemisiwak Nations. We acknowledge the many Indigenous Peoples who have lived and cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude.

The Art Gallery of Grande Prairie also recognizes that Land Acknowledgments are not enough. Through our actions we commit to truth, reconciliation, decolonization, and allyship in support of Indigenous lifeways and wellbeing.
