Kids Camps | Bookings Open
Bookings are now open! These engaging sessions prioritize creativity and exploration through play. While each camp includes educational elements, our main goal is to inspire a passion for creativity through fun hands-on activities.
Each camp will be filled with a range of different activities, so your child can take all of our camps year after year and still be met with new and exciting projects.

Drop in Art Night | FREE
Hosted by Kira Makela
Drop in Art nights are back for the spring! These relaxed evenings are open to everyone so bring your art supplies, a drink, a snack, and come get creative! These evenings are a fantastic way to make time for your art and meet other creatives.
The gallery will have some basic supplies on hand, like scissors and brushes, however artists are expected to be self sufficient and bring their own supplies. In the past participants have worked on everything from illustrations and paintings, to fishing flies and mending projects. We welcome all forms of creative expression, just please avoid brining any projects that are overly loud or smelly.
- Thursday nights, 7pm – 9pm
- April 10 – May 15
- The RVAC Kitchen Studio, 320 Wilson st
- Entrance is via the undercover area on the left hand side of the building
- Please leave the space clean for the next person
- All welcome, no bookings required
