Public Programs

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.

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.
