March Artists: Hank and Russ Allen, Kai Caradus, Shane and Vivienne Daling, Theon and Desmond Francois, Ben, Andrew and Jake Hayes, Simon and Destin Hunt, Georgia Shaw, and Maria Woodcroft

Come explore the unique artwork created by the young artists of our Homeschool Connect program. For the past month’s project, each participant dove into the life and style of a famous artist and learned about what made their work memorable. Then, using their favourite animal as subject, they crafted an original masterpiece inspired by their chosen artist’s techniques.

A fast-paced program for toddlers with active stories, songs, bounces, fingerplays, instrument play and more, followed by a 30-minute playtime.

Dates: Begins Tuesday, January 13 for six weeks
