Discover free Culture Days this weekend at PAMA


Celebrate culture with the Peel Art Gallery, Museum and Archives (PAMA).
PAMA will be offering free admission all this weekend (Sept. 27 and 28) for Culture Days, a cross-Canada movement to raise the awareness, accessibility and engagement of Canadians in the arts and cultural lives of their communities.
PAMA will provide a jam-packed schedule of interactive activities and workshops for all ages. Caribbean sounds, henna design and First Nations stories are just some of the exciting arts and culture activities to be enjoyed this weekend.
