Start with Art is a unique exhibition that focuses on encouraging young people to appreciate, collect, and curate their own art collection – with a special price list just for kids 16 and younger!

This year, Start with Art turns 20! For this special anniversary exhibition we’ve invited established artists who’ve exhibited in Start with Art over the past two decades. As in past years, artwork is hung lower in the gallery, visitors can colour on the walls in the ‘secret room’, and we’ve planned family-friendly programming throughout the exhibition to make Start with Art truly kid-centric.

Our take home art projects – Kids’ Kits – are available by donation. We’re also playing a short video in the gallery featuring advice the exhibiting artists offer to budding artists. This advice frequently sparks the idea in kids that one day their work could be shown in a gallery, too.
