March Break Camp
The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia’s week-long art camps are led by local artist-educators and invite kids to explore a wide range of materials, techniques, and creative ideas. Campers experiment with textiles, painting, printmaking, drawing, and 3D projects while visiting the Gallery’s exhibitions to spark inspiration from original artworks. With plenty of room for imagination, curiosity and hands-on fun, campers build confidence in their creativity, and head home with a collection of unique artworks!
