Join us for a pattern-making workshop inspired by Ghazaleh Avarzamani’s exhibition Churn, Earn, Burn and then Return, where games become a lens for examining the systems that shape our everyday life. By rolling dice, kids will generate the rules to create their artworks, while exploring colour, composition, and ideas of control through playful chance.
What to expect: The session begins with a 25-minute guided tour of selected works from Churn, Earn, Burn, and then Return, followed by a hands-on art-making activity.
Our free onsite Contemporary Kids programs invite children to learn about modern and contemporary art through unique and engaging art activities.
For children ages 5-12. Maximum group of 25 children, with one guardian per child.
Contemporary Calgary Educational Programs are often photographed. This photography includes the participants, parents or guardians and their creations. If you wish not to be photographed, please let Contemporary Calgary education staff know upon arrival, and they will assist you.
