Bring your students to the gallery for an active tour that engages students through observation, interaction, creative thinking and a studio component. One and a half hour tours or full day studio programs facilitate an artistic experience tailored to your class’ grade level.
We are located in Deer Lake Park in a heritage building. Field trips can be combined with a visit to the Burnaby Village Museum, or a walk around Deer Lake. Also see our 2009-2010 brochure for tour details and booking information.

Gordon Smith
January 12 - March 4, 2010
On Exhibit: A retrospective of prints by influential BC artist Gordon Smith. Engaging with the artist’s portrayal of the BC landscape, students decipher changes in Smith’s style from the 1950’s until the present.
In the Studio: After investigating expressive, dynamic marks and stylized, abstract works, they create an image in the artist’s style. Using the gallery printing press, students make a lively monotype print of the BC landscape.
