What’s next?

Searching for... Homeland has strengthened bonds with both youth in Oakville and with our partner organizations. As a result, Oakville Galleries will continue to offer engaging programmes for teens and build on this spirit of collaboration.

In 2006, in conjunction with our winter exhibition titled Addressing Oakville, teens will be invited to participate in the new public programme Oakville Addresses… and become art critics. Writing about art involves the ability to look at and interpret formal language as well as articulating concepts in written form. Starting in February 2006, Oakville Addresses… will be comprised of a series of workshops for young writers, designed to teach writing techniques and have critical articles about art published in The Oakville Beaver and Teen Issues magazine. For details on the programme and to register please visit www.oakvillegalleries.com.

In addition, the Oakville Public Library and Oakville Galleries have partnered to offer a March Break programme for teens in 2006. Do it here: DIY media for teens will provide teens with a series of tips on how to be creative with easily available media, materials and techniques. As part of the weekly programme, teens will participate in several writing and hands-on workshops in and around Oakville, and will visit artist studios in Toronto (a silkscreen workshop, knitting co-op, sound recording studio, etc).
