Summer Camps

The AGNS’ Summer Art Camp is the perfect place to get creative for young artists!

Each week our camps will dive into exciting art-making explorations, trying out a variety of fun techniques and materials. Whether it’s drawing, painting, or creating cool three-dimensional projects, there’s always something new and exciting to discover!

Inspired by the exhibitions on view, and guided by talented local artists and staff, AGNS camps offer kids a chance to learn about a variety of art mediums. Campers will have fun and get inspired with hands-on studio activities, explorations in the galleries, and outings around our neighbourhood.

With fun weekly themes to guide their work, these camps are an inspiring way for kids to get creative this summer!
