Something for everyone over March break at PAMAFor those who are looking for something fun for the kids to do during March break, the Peel Art Gallery, Museum and Archives (PAMA) has a number of activities for all ages. Each day, PAMA is offering instructor-led drop-in activities, free with admission. Families can make and take home creative projects inspired by some of PAMA's Museum and Art Gallery exhibitions. Drop-in activities are available during the weekends before and after the break (March 8 and 9, and 15 and 16) from 1 to 5 p.m. During the weekdays (March 10 to 14), activities will be available from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Come out March 8 and 9 and dive into the world of black and white art with a program called Positive and Negative. Inspired by the Leonard Hutchinson exhibition in the Art Gallery, visitors will create fun positive and negative silhouettes. March 10, create landscapes with acrylic paint on canvas with inspiration provided by The Tree exhibition. Early settlers had creative and artistic ways of making everyday objects. Visit the Museum classroom to make objects with inspiration from Peel history. March 11, create your own wordless story using simple printmaking techniques. This activity is inspired by George Walker's The Mysterious Death of Tom Thomson exhibition. And have you ever wondered if there are fossils in Peel? Learn more fun facts about Peel's natural history. March 12, construct your own superhero costume, inspired by the True Patriot: The Next Generation of Canadian Superheroes exhibition.

March 13, create your own storyboard with simple printmaking techniques inspired by the George Walker exhibition, The Mysterious Death of Tom Thomson. There will also be the opportunity to make your own crazy quilt, inspired by quilts on display in the Peel Gallery. March 14, participants will be able to ask themselves if they could have super powers, what would they be? They will be able to design their own superhero, inspired by the True Patriot: The Next Generation of Canadian Superheroes exhibition. Also, design your own pierced tin pattern, inspired by lanterns in the Museum collection. March 15 and 16 there will be the From Sheep to Wool program. Do you ever wonder how things are made?
