Family Day Artventure at the McMichael

This Family Day Monday we celebrate everything Artventure!

From hands-on artmaking to storytelling, music, and poetry, enjoy a full day of creativity, curiosity, and fun for the whole family.

Explore materials, textures, and ideas in this hands-on mixed-media workshop led by artist and educator Sandra Tarantino. This is a supervised drop-off program; caregivers are welcome to explore the gallery and return at the end of the session for pick-up. Registration required.

Gather around to hear the story of Signy and Robert McMichael, the founders of the gallery. Learn about their friendships with leading Canadian artists and how their gift grew into one of the country’s most important art collections.

Featuring a dinosaur rap, songs about planets and pets, hilarious haikus, and poems about everything from climate change to the lettuce in your lunch box, this lively show is both entertaining for the ears and challenging for the mind. Accompanying himself on banjo, guitar, and ukulele, Brendan brings over fifteen years of touring experience to this high energy poetry show for young audiences!
