About

Search and Find Gallery Scavenger Hunt
Visit the two exhibitions, The Drive and Wabooz/Rabbit during Culture Days and receive a Search and Find Scavenger Hunt. Explore the Gallery to locate all the artworks hidden in the exhibitions. Once completed your Search and Find sheet becomes a ballot to win awesome prizes.
Postcards to my Community Project
Celebrate community and what it means to you. What are you missing about your community during this time of distancing? Whether it’s visiting in your neighbourhood, gathering with family or friends, participating in sports or talking face-to-face with your book club, our communities are an important part of our lives. Create and share a postcard to your community that shows your appreciation for it. Your “missing you” messages will be collected and shared in either a digital or physical exhibition at the Gallery. Pick up a blank postcard from the Gallery or print a postcard template from our website. Use the postcard to write, draw, paint, collage, scribble, embroider or improvise your message with materials you have on hand at home. The completed cards will be shared through the Gallery in an exhibition after Culture Days.
