Let’s Make Art Together!
Make Art Projects are interactive art experiences held at the Comox Valley Art Gallery inspired by current thematic programming. Drop-in activities and workshops offer possibilities for individual encounters, collaborative processes, and material experiments through hands-on art-making.
Make Art Projects are open to people of all ages and abilities. Participation is barrier-free (no cost); donations are appreciated. Materials are provided, and facilitators are on-hand to provide instruction.
