While there's no guarantee that the snow will melt and the flowers will bloom, PAMA can promise that the birds will be chirping. Interactive workshops, hands-on activities and exciting events are in full-swing for all ages and interests. Take flight with Our Feathered Friends, on loan from the Canadian Museum of Nature until May 31. This family-friendly exhibition explores the diverse and fascinating flying creatures. Learn the basics of bird watching, how to identify birds, and how to attract them to the backyard. Also discover the birds, bird images and interesting stories found in the PAMA collection in the Archives. There are also the favourite works of PAMA's artists. On now until May 3, Exchange: PAMA Artists Select showcases works chosen by some of PAMA's talented exhibited artists. Each artist has shared the reason behind their choice of painting, drawing, print or sculpture and has included one of their own art works in the exhibit. Put pen to paper and explore the literary voice while drawing inspiration from PAMA's exhibitions in this workshop for young adults, aged 12 to 15.
