• Practice observation and communication skills. Each full day visit includes half a day in the gallery discussing and sketching art work on display students will be encouraged to develop their own interpretations of artwork on display.

• The gallery has a strict maximum of 60 students for a full day visit. The clay classroom can accommodate 30 students at a time. If your group is between 30-60 students, please be ready to divide up into 2 groups, max 30 each, and the groups will rotate between the gallery and classroom activities.
• If you have more than 60 students who would like to take part in one of our workshops, please email [email protected] to arrange an in-school visit.
• ***Modern Mythos for High School has Max 30 per day. This is because the gallery and clay activities must be done in a specific order, so we can't divide the group and swap between gallery and clay activities.

Full day programs are divided into 3 blocks:

• 1 0am - 11:30am / morning block (get inspired in the gallery)
• 1 1:30am - 12:30pm / lunch break and outdoor recess
• 1 2:30pm - 2:00pm / afternoon block (clay workshop in the classroom)

* If you need to leave earlier than 2pm because of busing, the lead teacher is responsible for notifying the gallery instructors at the start of your visit, on the day of your visit. To shorten visits, we typically remove 10 mins from each block (morning block, lunch block, and afternoon block) to end at 1:30pm instead of 2pm.

• With less than 10 days notice: a $50 cancellation fee may be charged.
• No refund for same-day cancellations and no-shows: The deposit is not returned for no-shows or same-day cancellations (in line with Ontario Labour Law, if gallery instructors arrive at work they must be paid a minimum 3 hours).
