A new tour and workshop program is developed for the Fall, Winter, and Spring exhibitions, making it possible for your class to visit at least three times each school year. All our school programs incorporate core competencies and learning standards from the BC Curriculum and are accompanied by a Teacher’s Guide, which is also available online.

Facilitated programs at art galleries have been shown to support the development of students’ creative and critical thinking capacities and affect students in four measurable ways:

QUESTIONING // Students ask more complex questions
MULTIPLE INTERPRETATIONS // Students are more accepting of multiple interpretations
PHYSICALITY OF ART // Students are more likely to think about art in terms of its material properties
EMOTIVE RECALL // Students experience greater emotive recall of the program
