Our Trips

Secondary School Bus Tours

SD36 visual art teachers, bring your high school students to the Gallery for an interactive tour of the current exhibitions with artmaking in the Gallery. To register and for free transportation (seating limited), contact Kathleen Tan at the Surrey School District, tan_k@surreyschools.ca.

Sharing Perspectives: Indigenous Contemporary Art Workshop

Deepen learning about Indigenous cultures and contemporary artmaking practices through an inquiry into artworks by Indigenous artists. From cedar bark weavings, vinyl murals, and seal skin drums to paintings, prints, performance, and multimedia installations, students will discuss artworks from the Gallery’s permanent collection as well as Surrey’s Public Art collection.

Sculpting in Clay - Workshop & Tour

Find inspiration in permanent collection artworks by Sally Michener and Davide Pan and in masks from across the globe. Students will learn ceramic techniques such as slab construction, slip and score, and surface treatment through creating their own clay mask.

The World of Clay - Workshop & Tour

Students learn about ceramic practices from around the world as the artist educator demonstrates coiling, pinching, incising, and sculpting. Students will create and embellish a clay vessel using these techniques.

Printmaking: Animal Avatar - Workshop & Tour

Reflect on community through a printmaking project that contemplates symbolism, family, and culture through the creation of an animal avatar. Students will be inspired by the Gallery’s permanent collection artworks that reflect diverse artistic practices and perspectives.
