Virtual Educational Programs

All in-person educational programs at the Varley Art Gallery are suspended.

Beginning February 2022 we will continue to provide free, live, virtual education workshops aimed at primary school children (Grades K-8). See the Virtual Education Program drop down menu below for the current Virtual Education Brochure as it becomes available.

New! We now offer easy access to select recordings of our past education workhops. See the Virtual Education Recordings drop down menu below for a list of available workshops and related links, organized by grade level.

The Varley Art Gallery of Markham’s virtual education programs are made possible through the generous support of the Varley-McKay Art Foundation of Markham.
