Looking for something creative to do on Family Day?
The Woodstock Art Gallery has you covered.
The gallery and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada are teaming up to help families get inspired by offering a free grab bag of art supplies.
Each of the grab bags – partially funded by the auto manufacturer – are packed with sketchbooks, paper, pencils, crayons and other craft materials.
“No two bags are alike, so there are endless possibilities for children and their caregivers to create something unique,” art gallery education co-ordinator Deanna Logan said. “There will also be free resources on our website that can be used for inspiration.”
Curator Mary Reid said gallery staff are “thrilled” to have families take part in the initiative.
Ricardo DeSouza, the vice-president of manufacturing for Toyota Canada, said the company’s employees were looking to the project’s positive impact in the community.
“When we heard about this activity, inspiring creativity and fun with local families, we knew we had to support. The Woodstock Art Gallery is a longtime partner with (Toyota Canada) and we’re proud to be a supporter,” he said.
The grab bags will be available for curbside pickup outside the art gallery at 449 Dundas St. on Feb. 12 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Feb. 13 starting at 10 a.m.
If there are changes to the pickup dates or procedures, the art gallery will update people on its website at www.woodstockartgallery.ca.
