Art-making Fun for Everyone!

Where: Level 3 Atrium
Family Fun

Bring the family and enjoy an afternoon of art-making inspired by our exhibitions and our natural environment!

Experiment with tissue paper and other art materials provided to make your own very own creation to take home.

This activity draws inspiration from an artwork featured in one of our current exhibitions, Double Vision. Inuit artist, Janet Kigusiuq, turned to tissue paper collage when arthritis kept her from making her densely detailed drawings. Her collages show the Arctic landscape rich with colour and texture, revealed through looking closely and paying attention to the details of the land.

Included in the cost of admission!

Today's Events & Programs

1:30 pm - 2:30 pm

Winter may be here, but there’s no need to stay home!

Join us at The Rooms to exercise and socialize during this colder and drearier time of year. While strolling throughout the building and enjoying both the exhibitions and the views, participants will focus on a different spotlight item from our collection each week. After our stroll, staff will lead a brief discussion on the weekly spotlight, and then everyone is encouraged to stay and socialize with friends new and old.

No registration is needed. Included with the cost of admission ($7.80 plus HST for seniors), free for members.

Tour

Fishing for Cod

For centuries, fishing for cod has played a vital role in the lives of the peoples of Newfoundland and Labrador. Generations of fishing men, women, and children made use of the land and sea to sustain them and spent their lives “making fish.”

Join us each day for an interpretive guided tour in one of our galleries. From the story of the cod fishery to visiting a current art exhibition to a Family Rainbow Tour, there is something for everyone.

Each tour is approximately 30–40 minutes and is included in the cost of admission. Free for Rooms members.
