Art2Go
Tailored for students ranging from grades one to twelve, Art2Go is a popular McMichael program that allows classes to enjoy the gallery experience from the convenience of their classroom. Educators from McMichael visit your school and unfold Canada’s art stories, first-hand.
Choose to learn about the Group of Seven and their contemporaries, First Nations Art, or Inuit Art.
The talks are accompanied by a digital display of signature works from our collection. Students use the Art2Life Web site for a virtual research project and engage in a hands-on art activity. Running time: 75 minutes. Art2Go is designed for groups of thirty students.
A similar Gallery2Go is also available to service clubs and other community groups.

Art2Go is our popular classroom program. A gallery educator will travel to your school and teach about the Group of Seven and their contemporaries, First Nations or Inuit art. Students view a digital display of signature works from the gallery and engage in a hands-on art activity. Art2Go is designed for 30 students and runs for 75 minutes. The program includes an introduction to the area of interest and a studio portion. All supplies and materials are included. For older grades, the program can also include a brief introduction to our award-winning web site, Art2Life – an interactive tool that provides more information about artists, art practices, and Canadian history.
We’ll bring the gallery to you and introduce your class to the McMichael’s wonderful Canadian art collection!
