Educational Programming

Are you a teacher with ADSB or HSCDSB? Did you know the AGA has an amazing partnership with those school boards which covers the cost of a class visit? Art makes a difference!!
Our educational programming is designed for those of all ages and backgrounds. We work with local school boards to tailor programs to fit the needs of students' established curriculum. Programming is also available for the general public, homeschool groups and special interest groups. We work to find new methods to deliver interactive and innovative content for learners of all ages. To schedule school tours or for more information regarding our educational programming, e-mail our staff at the AGA or call us at 705-949-9067 Groups outside of the ADSB and HSCDSB such as homeschoolers, clubs, camps & special interest groups will be charged $10 per student for exhibition tour and art activity, duration approximately 1.5 hours.

Woodland Mural Art Project
The Woodland Mural Art Project is a community-focused Indigenous youth art initiative led by Indigenous artist and educator, Lucia Laford, teaching traditions of the Woodland Art style.
The Project, facilitated at the Art Gallery of Algoma, engaged 15-20 youth from the Indigenous Friendship Centre (IFC) of Sault Ste. Marie, who were 13-18 years of age, as participants in a series of eight workshops culminating in the creation of a mural to beautify the exterior wall of the Art Gallery of Algoma. Youth were educated in the elements and symbolism of Woodland art and the materials and techniques to create in this traditional style. The location of the mural makes it accessible to visitors and all who walk through the downtown park where the AGA is located.
Participants: Lucia Cameron, Ceana Churchill, Jasper Corbeil, Jamie Coughlin, Lauren Coughlin, Rachel Fetherston, Chloe Hodgins, Isabella Hodgins, Molly MacDonald, Annyssa Miles, Lia Munroe, Charlotte Pinnell-Berry, Teah Roach, Noah Roberts, Vance Trudeau, Kyra Verville, Alice Vosper and Reynelle Wemigwans.
