Language Programs: Art Gallery of Alberta

Learn more about Newcomers' Art and Language Meetup

Language programs at your AGA aim to foster community connection through language and art. Our programs provide an opportunity to learn about and discuss art, big ideas and current exhibitions in multiple languages including English, French and Spanish.

In addition, our programs support language acquisition and build confidence through discussion, reflection and the creative process. We utilize a Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) framework that centers individual curiosity and empowers learners to pursue their interests by viewing art in our Galleries or making art in the studio while honing their language skills.

Art & Language Meetups for Newcomers

3rd Saturday of every month

1-3pm

Art is a bridge between cultures, and to culture. Conversation builds relationships and a sense of belonging. Together, art and conversation spark creativity, inspire our thinking and develop new pathways to community.

Discover Canadian art and culture through our new series, Art and Language Meetups for Newcomers to Canada. Join us for tours of our current exhibitions, followed by an insightful conversation with fellow community members and multilingual speakers. These monthly sessions feature tours, snacks and conversation in French, Spanish and English.

This event is FREE and open to everyone looking to upskill, meet new people, and converse in their preferred language. Language learners are encouraged to join in and hone their language skills in a safe and fun environment.
