ArtWorks – Kids Up Front

Our Goal

Kids Up Front Vancouver’s ArtWorks programs encourage self-expression and imagination, to stimulate curiosity, foster personal growth, and inspire a lifelong appreciation for the arts in children.

Kids Up Front is thrilled to partner with Art Galleries for our ArtWorks programs. These art programs offer a unique opportunity for children to engage with different forms of art, including paintings, sculptures, installations, and multimedia works. By exploring various artistic styles and techniques, children can develop an appreciation for creativity and aesthetics.

The ArtWorks programs allow kids to interpret and relate to artworks in their own unique ways while exploring their emotions and thoughts while discussing the artwork while participating in guided activities. Kids Up Front’s programs provide opportunities to explore interactive and educational workshops specifically designed for children, by the Vancouver Visual Art Foundation, allowing kids to actively participate in the artistic process and develop their own artistic skills.

Thank you for your generosity and kindness. We appreciate and are very happy for what you have done for us. You guys are super awesome!

"The kids feel: 'I do fit here, I’m part of society, I’m part of community.' They have something to talk about with peers when they come back from the weekend. It’s about normalizing things for kids."

Our staff and youth are enormously thankful for the generous offering! Our budget does not allow us to give our children the opportunity to participate in activities such as this one
