Weekly art and wellness workshops for mental health
Join us on Zoom for a creative workshop with Gallery Educator Abigail Kashul. The workshops aim to foster holistic wellness by providing multidisciplinary creative exploration in an open and supportive environment.
From September to May, we’ll be working with mono printing and mixed media drawing techniques to create richly layered artworks on primed canvas in preparation for our exhibition in May, for mental health awareness month.
We are pleased to offer limited spaces to the public to participate in our Creative Space Online program. Subsidized art kits containing the required materials for the program are available online and in-person at the OAG shop during regular open hours for $35 for a limited time.
Registration is now closed until the next session starting in June.
Since 2015, the OAG has partnered with The Royal Mental Health Centre on Creative Space, a program that encourages a social learning environment through weekly art-making workshops.
For more information on this program, please contact Michael Davidge mdavidge@oaggao.ca

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/
