Shapes, Compositions and Block Printing

Contemporary Kids

Dates: January 7, 21 & 28
Times: 10am – 12noon

For children ages 4 – 12.

Join us for an exhibition tour and printmaking workshop inspired by the work of Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins.

Inspired by the paintings in THX 2020 by Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins, this hands-on block printing workshop invites kids to explore shapes and composition. Considering ideas related to mark-making, colour choices and storytelling, participants will craft their own unique printing matrix and hand-pull prints from it.

Our free onsite Contemporary Kids programs invite children to learn about modern and contemporary art through unique and engaging art activities.

Maximum group of 30 children, with one guardian per child.
Snacks and workshop supplies will be provided.

Our Commitment to Equity

Our commitment to Indigenous reconciliation, racial equity, disability justice, and gender and sexual diversity.

We acknowledge that the land we gather on, Mohkinsstsis, is the ancestral territory of the Siksikaitsitapi — the Blackfoot people — comprising the Siksika, Kainai and Piikani Nations, as well as Treaty 7 signatories, the Tsuut’ina Nation and the Îyârhe Nakoda Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney First Nations. Today this land is home to the Otipemisiwak Métis Government Districts 5 and 6 as well as many First Nations and Inuit from across Turtle Island.

We acknowledge that there has been art, music, dance, storytelling and ceremony on this land since time immemorial and it is in the spirit of this land and its people that we do our work.

Please see our full Commitment to Equity, including the sections on our aspirations, accountability, current initiatives and EDIA history.
