School Programs
The Art Gallery of Hamilton holds one of Canada’s most important art collections of over 10,000 artworks of Canadian, historical, international, contemporary and regional significance, and has become a destination for community and cultural activity.
This school year, the AGH will devote increased time and space to its collection, including a major exhibition of acquisitions from the last quarter century.
AGH: On-Site
School visits to the Art Gallery of Hamilton engage young learners through discussion and hands-on experiences. Choose one of the following programs as a basis for your half-day or full-day school visit.
AGH: On-SCREEN
AGH: On-Screen gives students the opportunity to experience the power of film as an art form through feature films and documentaries matched to the Ontario Curriculum. Screenings take place at the Art Gallery of Hamilton year-round and off-site at the Lincoln Alexander Theatre in downtown Hamilton during the 2019 AGH Film Festival.
AGH: IN-CLASS
AGH: In-Class brings specially trained local artist educators into your classroom to create and deliver dynamic arts-based lessons to support and enhance the core curriculum. Students will be inspired to collaborate, think critically, problem solve, and communicate their ideas as they develop a deeper understanding of themselves, each other, and their community.
