• ROCKOLLAGES
  October 10 to November 30, 2008
  The work of the collective assume vivid astro focus, entitled Abravana Cannibal, 2006, and presented in the exhibition Sympathy for the Devil: Art and Rock and Roll Since 1967, will guide participants in creating a novel collage of an invented figure made up of disparate yet harmonious parts.
  

• CYCLES
  December 5, 2008 to February 1, 2009
  After examining Summer Days and Nights (1960), a work by Joyce Wieland in the exhibition Ideas of Landscape/Landscape of Ideas 2, participants will be asked to produce a simplified landscape on the border between representation and abstraction. They will employ egg-like forms and a few graphic signs to conjure the cycles of nature.
  
  

• DING GONG!
  February 6 to April 5, 2009
  Make colours shimmer and vibrate when you take part in the workshop on abstract art inspired by Claude Tousignant’s 1966 Gongs series. Using a roller rather than a brush, create a circular painting that quivers with colour!
  
  

• EMERGENCE
  April 10 to May 17, 2009
  This art activity related to a work presented in the Collection exhibition will offer those taking part the chance to create their own original image.
  
  
• GEO-ORGANI-GIDS
  May 22 to June 11, 2009
  A plethora of shapes that are simultaneously geometric, organic and rigid will come into being during this abstract painting activity inspired by the works of Thomas Nozkowski.
