Contemporary Kids: Friends in the Forest
Contemporary Calgary
Dates: December 8, 2024
Times: 1 – 2:30pm or 3 – 4:30pm
For children ages 5 – 12.
Join us for the Future Wildlife Craft Workshop, inspired by Mia & Eric’s video from the exhibition In a Strange Place.
During this hands-on workshop, children will draw inspiration from the artists’ imaginative exploration of forests and their caretakers. They will craft their own unique animal faces to wear on their heads. This engaging activity fosters artistic expression and encourages kids to consider conservation, climate awareness, and how creativity can deepen our understanding and care for the world around us.
Our free onsite Contemporary Kids programs invite children to learn about modern and contemporary art through unique and engaging art activities.
For children ages 5 – 12. Maximum group of 30 children, with one guardian per child. Questions? Please visit our FAQ page.
*In case you are unable to attend, kindly inform us by emailing education@contemporarycalgary.com at least 48 hours in advance so someone else can attend.
The same workshop is offered in two sessions on Sunday, December 8. Choose one session that suits your schedule best.

About Calgary Wildlife
Calgary Wildlife was established in 1993 and is the only wildlife veterinary hospital in the City of Calgary. Each year, we provide people from Calgary and surrounding areas with expert and compassionate care for the wildlife that live in our communities and wild spaces. We treat and rehabilitate animals so they are ready to return to the wild and release them in ways that help them thrive. Calgary Wildlife is more than a veterinary hospital and rehabilitation centre. We contribute to larger studies and conservation efforts by tracking and contributing patient information. We support humans to live in harmony with wildlife through education, public service announcements, and a hotline for information and support when people meet with injured or orphaned wildlife. We spark awe and wonder for the natural world in our youth and provide solutions for wildlife related issues to the public.
