Family Sundays
Next up for Family Sunday:
A Season of Celebration
December 14 | 2-4 PM
Celebrate December’s Family Sunday with our featured artist, Victoria Symphony Orchestra percussionist Masako Hockey, who will lead an interactive musical experience alongside a hands-on instrument-making activity. Masako will ignite curiosity and excitement by teaching how rhythm and texture exist in music, as they do in visual art. Inspired by the Fifty Shades of Ink: Ink Paintings from the AGGV Collection, create ink using an ink stick and stone and try ink-blot printmaking to make a card to share. Engage in the Gallery scavenger hunt with a draw for an artful prize package and enjoy a festive day of creativity, music, and fun for all ages.
