Kids First Saturdays

Kids First Saturdays is an opportunity for families of all kinds to create an in-house art project, based on the exhibitions being shown in the Gallery. The projects are geared towards children ranging in age from 4 to 14 years old, though there is no age requirement to participate.

Our next in-house Kids First programming will take place on Saturday, October 3rd 2020, with activities inspired by the exhibition Third Realm: Contemporary Art from Asia. 

October Kids First Saturday is also part of Vancouver Art Book Fair‘s Art Book Month. Art Book Month is a parallel series of events hosted in spaces across Vancouver by a variety of artists, curators, collectives and institutions who are actively creating and presenting work in print media.

Advance registration for Kids First programming can be done by emailing s.bernard@thepolygon.ca, and same-day registration should be done by telephoning the admission desk at 604-986-1351.

Please read our new Covid-19 safety plan, which ensures a safe experience for all.

The instructions for these upcoming projects will be posted online every Saturday, building up to the event on October the 3rd, starting on Saturday, September 12th. These activities will help families create the project on-site as visitors can consult them with their own personal electronic devices, which allows us to maintain social distancing within the gallery.

Families can also use these same instructions to create similar projects from home. If that is the case, be sure to share your work online and tag @polygongallery as we would love to see your amazing creations.

Kids First programming is generously supported by The Hamber Foundation, North Shore Community Foundation, the Government of Canada’s Emergency Community Support Fund, and West Vancouver Community Foundation.
