The Fine Art of Storytelling will be the focus of this March 7 program from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

There are also drop-in weekend afternoons with fun family activities inspired by exhibitions. Families can make and take home creative projects and inspired art.
As well, there will be activities for the kids during March break (March 10 to 14).
