Self-Guided Visits

Self-guided visits allow school groups to navigate any of the featured exhibitions in the Gallery on their own.

The maximum capacity is 30 students with up to 6 adult chaperones. We require 1 adult chaperone for every 6 elementary students and 1 adult chaperone for every 10 secondary students.

Children and youth aged 18 and under always visit FREE. Please note that admission for adult chaperones is not free, and each adult will be required to pay the reduced admission rate of $25 + GST.

All self-guided group visits must be booked in advance. To book, please contact learn@vanartgallery.bc.ca and provide the details of your request.

  • It is essential to prepare your group for their visit using the Teacher Study Guides, available here »
