Vancouver Art Gallery

A perfect weekend.  Culture, sun, and a fab lunch at the Gallery Cafe, which supplies hip leather highchairs for them and kir royales for you.  The Vancouver Art Gallery has revamped its kids programming, and has some new great events happening every weekend.  It’s good to start them early and grab some culture for you at the same time.  For the really little ones, there are art books, blocks, and stroller parking.

Art Agents
Saturdays, 12pm–4pm
In the Gallery
Families can explore the Gallery with “Art Agents” every Saturday. Armed with a bag full of materials to facilitate children’s early encounters with art, the Art Agents will be bold, whimsical, funny, informed and on the watch for families in the galleries.

The Making Place
Second and Fourth Sunday of every month, 12pm–4pm
In the Gallery
On the second and fourth Sunday of every month, the Gallery will offer “The Making Place.” From painting to weaving, The Making Place will be an explorative workshop featuring both collaborative and independent activities, with instruction, materials and inspiration for all kinds of art making.
