Looking for a way to introduce your kids to the world of art without the stress of a "don't touch anything" museum experience? Koffler Arts has you covered with their "Faces & Feelings" program, designed specifically for children aged 2 to 6.
The Experience
This isn't just a walk through a gallery; it’s an interactive adventure. The program is built around the current exhibition *Blessed and Highly Favoured* by Kalmplex. Families will start with a storytime session designed to spark imagination and set the stage for the art they’re about to see.
Looking and Making
After the story, families will explore the exhibition together. The focus is on looking closely at the vibrant portraits—talking about colours, expressions, and the stories behind the faces. It’s a great way to help children develop their observational skills and emotional vocabulary. The session wraps up with a hands-on collage activity where kids and caregivers work together to create their own portraits using a variety of materials. It’s messy, it’s fun, and it’s a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
Practical Info
Koffler Arts is located at 180 Shaw St. The program runs for one hour and is perfect for families looking for a creative, low-pressure outing. It’s a fantastic way to make the gallery feel like a welcoming, familiar space for your children.
