Transform, Imagine, Dream!

 
What message do you want to share with the world? Is there something you want people to start or stop doing? Is there an issue that you wish you could change?

This Family Day, take inspiration from the exhibition Jan Wade: Soul Power and find ways to transform, imagine and dream through art! Join us at the Gallery to discover your power to create change.

FREE for kids 12 and under, when accompanied by an adult. Free for Gallery Members or with admission.

BOOK TICKETS

The first 100 families to arrive will receive one Art Detective Bag filled with top secret clues, idea prompts and materials to use in the Gallery and at home to transform everyday objects into art that sends a message about the changes that YOU want to see in the world!

Before you head home, pick up your to-go package, including scissors, glue, pencil crayons and a special activity, so that you can create your own artwork with a transformative message at home.

Share your creations with us by tagging the Vancouver Art Gallery on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter for your chance to win a one-year household membership!
