Join Laura Ritchie, curator of William Townsend: Painting Alberta, Details of Canada on this guided tour.

Wet chalk painting? Explore different brush techniques on a monochromatic surface and create a miniature painting.  Then go on a scavenger hunt through the gallery looking for your favourite colour choice from your new work of art.

How does colour communicate mood? Take in mid-twentieth century Canadian art in our current exhibition, William Townsend: Painting Alberta, Details of Canada and then express yourself on a large scale through creative colour mixing in-studio!

Text and Art? Blackout poetry (or erasure poetry) is when a poet takes a marker to already established text –like in a vintage book– and starts redacting words until a poem is formed. Join us as we make black out poems and create visual art in the negative space between the words.

Join us for Yoga in the Gallery on Thursday evenings from 5:30-6:30pm

Play using your 5 senses! Visit the Peter von Tiesenhausen’s exhibition: Songs for Pythagoras and create sketches based on 5 artworks. Transform these into charcoal sensory drawings: explorations of how you can use your medium to enhance any particular sense.

Try Yoga in the Gallery Mondays at lunch this spring.

Peter von Tiesenhausen: Songs for Pythagoras includes dark colours and natural elements. Explore dark tones by making a resist painting.  Make your own unique painting from your favourite art work in the exhibit.

Time to layer up! Experience Peter Von Tiesenhausen: Songs for Pythagoras and its themes of nature and industry. Look for distinct textures throughout the exhibition to use in-studio. Use a reductive relief print to recreate the various found textures.

The impetus to write comes in all forms. Join us as we apply a creative writing process to the images and art we see in the AGA. We will be creating images and poetry inspired by the themes and concepts within the exhibition Peter von Tiesenhausen: Songs of Pythagoras.
