Inspired by the whimsical art of Gathie Falk, join us for a day of discovery and anything-goes creativity. Try your hand at papier-mâché and create a sculpture as wild as your imagination to join in a playful art parade through the McMichael’s gardens. Then enjoy a live music performance, and finish you visit with an outdoor tea party!

Cozy up with the literary arts in preparation for the upcoming long winter months. Learn about how illustrators brings stories to life through art, from traditional drawing and paintings to cartooning and comics. Inspired by a lesser-known collection of illustrated stories by beloved artist Emily Carr, the McMichael will offer in-gallery story making sessions and cartooning workshops. Don’t miss the opportunity to meet Catherine Wilson, author of Emily Carr and Raven: In the Darkness of her Dreams.
