Get arty outside

We’re halfway through May, so let’s get cracking on those summer plans before the siren call of the patio takes over! The AGO has a huge lineup of summer courses on its roster. Along with perennial favourites, we have a selection of new offerings designed to take advantage of the warm weather.

City Explorations: Street Photography Intensive, a four-day course, gives participants hands-on experience shooting Toronto street life images. City Explorations: Traveller's Sketchbook offers quick drawing and painting techniques that are perfect to capture scenes during your travels.

If you’re keen to learn more about the amazing public art that populates Toronto’s urban landscape, we have two tours along the waterfront, exploring bold and beautiful public art installations with Public Art: Touring the East Side Lakeshore and Public Art: Touring the West Side Lakeshore.

Want a break from the heat (we have air conditioning!) and want to learn something new? As always, there is an impressive range of intensive workshops that take place over a weekend. From drawing to painting, and workshops with a Georgia O’Keeffe-inspired twist with a focus on flowers, make your summer an artful one. And for the kids, don’t forget our lineup of summer art camps that are open for registration now!
