Gallery 2 is excited to offer reimagined summer programming this July and August, with both online and in-person programs. Join us every Wednesday afternoon from July 7 to August 25 for Art in Progress - half-day art camps for kids ages 6-9. Every week we will explore different art materials, techniques, and creative approaches to making art. Camps will take place under a tent on the gallery lawn. Masks are required whenever campers go inside the building. Camps will run from 12:30 to 3:30 pm, with supervision available until 4:00 pm. There is no cost to participate. Camps are limited to 7 campers, so pre-registration is recommended. Register by sending us an email to programs@g2gf.ca. Every Friday from July 9 to August 27 we will be sharing an art-making activity in our online Work in Progress video series. Each week we will explore a work of art from Gallery 2’s Permanent Collection and get inspired to make our own works of art. These art-making activities are fun for the entire family and require minimal art supplies. This video series will offer a glimpse behind the scenes as we embark on an extensive collections management project to install new storage for the over 300 artworks in our collection, and to create a gallery space dedicated to the care of the permanent collection. The videos will be available to watch below. Being creative can make you hungry & messy, so please have your child bring a snack for break time and clothes they can get paint on. Since we will be making art outdoors and going to the park to get inspiration from nature, please have your child bring appropriate clothes for the weather – a hat, sunscreen and walking shoes!
