Make Art Projects are interactive art experiences held at the Comox Valley Art Gallery inspired by current thematic programming. Projects offer possibilities for individual encounters, collaborative processes and material experiments through hands-on art-making. Hosted by artists, gallery staff and volunteers, these maker events are open to all ages.
Everyone is welcome. Admission is by donation and materials are provided.
