MORE INFORMATION
Enrich your students' education with hands-on visual arts workshops taught by professional arts educators. As one of Canada's premier contemporary art museums, Oakville Galleries offers innovative field trips and in-class visits that make the visual arts accessible and engaging for all students.
With a commitment to fostering creativity, confidence, and critical thinking skills in children and youth, our programs give students opportunities to look at, discuss, and make works of art where they are encouraged to experiment with new ideas and specialized materials. All programs are designed to promote inquiry-based learning; to support the development of students' collaborative and innovative learning abilities; and to emphasize both big ideas and interdisciplinary engagement.
With the Province of Ontario's Visual Arts curriculum and the creative process at the forefront of our offerings, select programs also integrate strands from History and Geography, Language, Science and Technology, and Social Studies.
