Oakville Galleries offers innovative field trips and in-class visits that make contemporary arts accessible and engaging for all students. Enrich your curriculum with hands-on workshops taught by professional art instructors.
With a commitment to fostering artistry, confidence, and critical thinking skills, our programs allow students to analyze, discuss, and create works of art. Students are encouraged to experiment with new ideas and specialized materials and our programs are designed to promote inquiry-based learning; support the development of students' collaborative and innovative learning abilities; and 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.
We look forward to working with you and your students.
