Public Programs

Print

Burnaby Art Gallery programs are designed to interpret works in our exhibitions–both from the City of Burnaby Permanent Collection and works on loan. Hands-on programs and discussions of works on exhibit engage participants and foster the development of technical skills, personal expression and critical thinking. We also offer programs for homelearners.

Online program registration requires a Family PIN and Client Number, if you do not have a current Webreg profile, please call 604-297-4422. Our staff will assist you with issuing a PIN and client number.
