Sundays in the Studio 2020

Virtual Family Sundays in the Studio

Presented with the support of Anne Safranyos & family, the AGW is pleased to present Family Fun Sundays in the Studio, At Home! a series of fun and interactive art-making activities which respond to current exhibitions, seasonal holidays and special events.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, and closure of the Art Gallery of Windsor, we shifted the program to an online platform. We reached out to our Gallery Guides, volunteers, and local artists who were up to the challenge! They quickly adapted to the new format, creating and delivering engaging and interactive activities from their home studios. 

In 2020, 10 local artists and educators were featured in a series of 30 instructional videos. For all videos, please visit our Youtube channel.
