PA Day Programs
The Art Gallery of Peterborough’s PA Day programs offer a studio experience for young artists who are ready to take their skills to the next level. These single day sessions focus on developing strong foundational techniques and introducing more advanced methods in drawing, painting, sculpture, and printmaking. With guidance from expert art educators, participants will engage in meaningful creative exploration, build confidence in their abilities, and be supported as they develop their own artistic style and ideas.
When programs are available a registration button will appear.
