How can you capture a moment in time; a lasting memory; a special place? How do you turn an object into an artistic artifact? After visiting our current exhibition, Wild Wood, create unique designs by pressing fresh flowers and plants, transforming them into mounted works of natural art.

Printmaking, multi-media, and a fully stocked studio are at your disposal to complete, continue or begin an art work. Perhaps you have a project in mind but haven’t begun? Perhaps a favourite memory or photograph? A tour of the gallery exhibitions will trigger your creativity and get you started, or unlock your creativity to complete your project.

Explore historical artworks in our exhibits in order to find a diverse range of backgrounds, midgrounds, and foregrounds that you’ll then be able to use in-studio to create a 3D cardboard landscape relief sculpture. Use found objects and oil pastels for added details and expression for the story you want to tell.

This special series is inspired by artists featured in AGA exhibitions this summer, who took to new environments to paint outdoors, or en plein air. 

Happy Father’s Day! It’s your day and we want to treat you to free gallery admission all day.

BMO World of Creativity: Wild Wood is our destination today. Have fun learning how to make a simple pinch pot out of clay. Make it a nature vessel by using various textures from natural materials.

How do objects transform? How do you tell a story through texture? Find the answers in our current exhibition, Landmark: A New Chapter Acquisition Project. Head back to the studio to tell your own story with found objects and surprise yourself with the printed results.

Wire, cloth, metal, and plastic are all materials we can use in collographic printmaking. Visits to the exhibition Li Salay (michif for ‘The Sun’), is the first exhibition of the work of Métis artists from across Canada. Li Salay will fuel us with imagery and material possibilities as we explore the theme of  “sun” in our printmaking.
