🎨 Calling all high school artists!

Applications are now open for the Youth Art Mentorship Program (YAM) at the Art Gallery of Peterborough.

YAM gives emerging young artists the opportunity to take their art practice to the next level. Selected students work alongside a professional artist-mentor and AGP staff to develop new work, experiment with ideas, and learn what it takes to create an exhibition.

Participants get access to studio space, materials, equipment, mentorship, and professional experience, culminating in a public exhibition at the Art Gallery of Peterborough.

Program Highlights:

☑️ Create new artwork and develop new artistic skills with the support and guidance of a professional artist-mentor

☑️ Learn what it takes to create an exhibition from artists and art professionals working in a gallery setting

☑️ Access studio space, materials, and equipment

☑️ Participate in a group exhibition at the AGP

☑️ Receive an artist fee for your work

Now entering its 6th year, YAM is an opportunity to connect with other young artists, build your practice, and experience what it means to bring an exhibition to the public.

Learn more about the Youth Art Mentorship Program and how to apply at agp.on.ca/youth-art-mentorship-program/ or follow the link in our profile.

Application deadline: December 6, 2026

We’re pleased to share some good news: the Art Gallery of Peterborough has received an increase to our Ontario Arts Council multi-year operating grant funding, beginning in 2027!

For the next three years, our operating grant will increase by 7.1%, with a B+ rating from the OAC.

This continued support helps us keep doing what we do: presenting exhibitions, caring for our collection, and creating accessible opportunities for our community to experience and engage with the visual arts.

We’re grateful to the Ontario Arts Council for this continued investment in the AGP, and to the many people who support our work year-round: our staff, volunteers, Board of Directors, educators, sponsors, members, the City of Peterborough, and our wider community.

Thank you to everyone who helps make this work possible. We’re looking forward to what’s ahead. ❤️
