Tours are free of charge & 1.5 Hr Art Programs which include a hands-on take home art project are FREE of charge thanks to ATB Financial.
1.5 HRS ART PROGRAM – GUIDED TOUR
This program includes a facilitated tour with a take-home hands-on art project inspired by current exhibitions. Hands-on art projects emphasize a contemporary mixed-media approach. The projects are age-appropriate and based on the principles and elements of art and design. These experiential components allow for student’s own experience of the exhibitions to be enhanced and grounded.
