School Programs
Thinking of visiting the Gallery? Nothing beats seeing the real thing. The Gallery offers great programs for students and teachers to explore the collection together. All programs are designed to provide innovative and engaging museum experiences. Guided Visits, Discovery Visits, and Studio Activities, for students from kindergarten to high school, enhance provincial visual arts curricula through a variety of current pedagogical approaches. We also offer adapted school programs for students with special needs.
