As of July 1, the Peel Art Gallery, Museum and Archives (PAMA) kicks of the summer break with pay what you can admission.
The art gallery spaces will be closed and undergoing some much-needed upgrades, therefore PAMA will be offering donation based admission until the construction is complete. In light of the construction, PAMA still has a fantastic summer of programming and events planned.
There will be summer camp fun from July 4 to 22 for youngsters aged six to 12.
The first week has already started. The second week (July 11 to 15) will be Hip Hop and Art, followed by Wonderful World of Water July 18 to 22. The cost is $157.25 per week for members and $185 per week for non-members. Register at pama.peelregion.ca under PAMA Kids!
There will be a Family Art and Stories (Watercolour Markings) this coming Saturday (July 9) from 2 to 4 p.m. Bring stories to life through art and inspire lifelong learning at the same time. This month is about Watercolour Markings. Pre-registration is required at pama.peelregion.ca
