  • In-School Workshops

    Host our team at your school! The MAC’s team of art mediators will visit your school to offer an introduction to contemporary art. This session includes a presentation of artworks from the MAC’s collection and will introduce your class to artists who integrate writing into their creative process. With a head full of ideas, your students will express themselves through bursting images revealing letters, words, and invented signs.

  • Camps

    Inspired by a theme connected with the works on display, the MAC’s Day Camp taps into participants’ energy and creativity by offering them a wide range of activities, both artistic (drawing, painting, sculpture, silkscreen on T-shirts, digital arts) and recreational. The program aims to develop youngsters’ creative capabilities as they learn about contemporary art in a fun, original way. Recognized for its high standards of quality and its continually updated program, the MAC’s Day Camp has won four awards of excellence from the Association des camps certifiés du Québec: for Innovation in 1997, and for Best Program in 1998, 2006 and 2010.

  • Workshops

    The MAC’s Art Workshops offer visitors of all ages an opportunity to enhance their aesthetic experience by trying out various techniques, media and materials related to a concept or theme found in a work or exhibition. By encouraging artistic expression, they help develop visitors’ desire and ability to create. It’s well known that a hefty dose of creativity clears the mind and refreshes our ideas, stimulates our imagination, develops personal expression, sparks many different emotions, promotes self-esteem, enables us to externalize our sensibility, prompts a desire to communicate and alters our perception of the world. Participating in the MAC’s workshops means enjoying a special opportunity to reinvent yourself!
