This summer, the AGGV Studio developed an exciting program called ‘Invitation to Create’. The idea centered on connecting the Studio with families near and far, by offering some simple and engaging creative prompt or art-making activity.
Botanical art illustration brings together art and science, with artists aiming to accurately depict the visual characteristics of plant and flower species, while producing an image that is pleasing.
Let’s test your knowledge of music and art through works in the AGGV!
As we near the end of summer, we are looking forward to going back to school. This fall, the AGGV will be back in the classroom, once again facilitating our popular half-day workshops led by a local music artist, in partnership with UVic’s Indigenous Education Department!
