Are you looking for unique and fun way for your children to spend spring and summer break?
There are creative options in the Art Gallery of Alberta’s ArtBreak Camps!
Designed for children aged 6-12 and youth aged 13-17, ArtBreak Camps offer unique opportunities for campers to make connections to their daily lives through art and the art-making process. Each camp includes tours of AGA gallery spaces and art activities inspired by current exhibitions. Many also include visits to other exciting locations, such as the Winspear Centre and the Edmonton Valley Zoo.
Spring ArtBreak
The first group of camps, Spring ArtBreak, take inspiration from the AGA’s upcoming Pop Art exhibition, POP SHOW! Dazzled by the Everyday. “In these camps, students will play with punchy colour and dazzling explorations of the everyday,” says AGA Education Programs Manager Dara Armsden. “Over the course of a week, campers will investigate the look and feel of the ‘60s art movement while creating artwork that expresses their own unique voice.”
AGA Spring ArtBreak camps run from March 31-April 3, and Summer ArtBreak camps begin in July. Registration for all ArtBreak camps is now open online atyouraga.ca, and in person at AGA Member and Guest Services.
