Weekly Family Programs

Art Agents + The Making Place

Every Sunday from 12 to 4 PM, the Gallery offers unique activities geared toward visitors aged 5- to 12-years-old and their families. Join our team of Art Agents as they bring the exhibitions to life. Then move on to The Making Place to experiment with themes, processes and materials that you see in the artworks on display in a number of engaging art-making activities. Drop in any time between 12 and 4 PM to take part.

Throughout the month of January, we will continue to explore the themes and various approaches of several of the 21 Indigenous artists featured in the exhibition Transits and Returns.

All activities are free for children aged 12 and under, when accompanied by an adult. Adult participation is free for Members with Gallery admission.

The Making Place Activity

JAN 12: Create a Diorama of Your Built Environment

Your daily life is made up of not just home, school, work and family. It includes the bus driver, who brings you from Point A to Point B; the trees and mountains that you see outside your window; the air that you breathe; and all the other many things that make up your lived environment.

By thinking outside the box of all the beings that make up our daily lives, we will bring into dialogue the places where we are from, where we live and where we are guests by building dioramas out of cardboard and paper.
