Programming information for Schools can be found at the bottom of this page.
Please note that due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are not currently holding any in person art classes and workshops. We are working on a series of online project prompts to keep you creative and connected to the art community.
GPAG is working to help keep community connections alive through creativity programs and partnerships. Well-being and caring for ourselves and others is at the core of the planned art activities available online.

School Programming
Many schools are regular visitors to the gallery, coming for exhibition tours, skill-based workshops or combinations of both. We have numerous curriculum-based programs to offer and make a special effort to work with the educators in our community to adjust our programs to the needs of individual classes. Outreach programs are also available; an experienced artist instructor can teach many techniques in your classroom. Special outreach workshops that are designed to work with our Art in the Schools program of mini-exhibitions are also available.
