OAG’s Learning and Engagement team offers “Art Talk” phone calls in partnership with The Good Companions Seniors’ Centre and other seniors’ organizations.
We chat about art in OAG exhibitions, the featured artists, their lives, and how their experiences have informed their work. OAG Educators open up a conversation where participants are comfortable sharing parts of their life experiences and memories evoked by the artwork.
Art Talks are featured in the Seniors’ Centre Without Walls program, which coordinates a monthly calendar full of voluntary phone-in opportunities that enrich the lives of local seniors.
THE PROGRAM IS FREE
All you need is a regular telephone to connect!
Phone calls take place on the last Tuesday of each month, at 10:45 am.
Seniors who are interested in taking part in upcoming Art Talk conversations can do so by reaching out through this link:
In partnership with Capital Pride, the OAG Youth Council is excited to present a free drop-in painting workshop led by Montreal-based artist Kezna Dalz! Join us in person at the OAG on April 16 between 12 and 4 p.m. to create a painted work that depicts what you would like to see in your heart.
Kezna’s work is characterized by raw features and bright colours, and within her multidisciplinary practice she addresses themes such as feminism, the fight against racism, popular culture as well as one’s relationship to sexuality. Her work can be viewed on https://teenadultt.com/
