Burnaby Art Gallery isn’t just a place to see art – it’s a place to make art of your own.
The gallery has year-round arts programming for people of all ages, and some interesting programs are coming up for both kids and adults.
On Sunday, Nov. 19, families can drop in for the In the BAG: Family Sunday program. Visitors can check out the Sylvia Tait: Journey exhibition (opening at the gallery Nov. 16) and then get into the studio to make their own colourful collages inspired by the work. It runs from 1 to 4 p.m., with programs beginning on the hour and half-hour.
For the young artists, there’s an upcoming Holiday Art Cards program for kids, with sessions for four- to six-year-olds and six- to nine-year-olds, running three Saturdays from Nov. 25 to Dec. 9.
And, for adults, there’s a new program called The Art of the Book, which introduces participants aged 16 and up to the worlds of printmaking and bookbinding to create two unique art books. It runs for two sessions on Friday, Nov. 17 and Saturday, Nov. 18 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with lunch included.
