Weekly Family Fun – Every Saturday 9:00am to 10:00am (7, 14, 21, 28 April)
Our Family Fun drop-in activities for children and their parents are brilliant fun and can be quite messy! If you’d like to get artsy with your child without the mess at home, come along to one of our Saturday morning sessions and get crafty with your children with the help of a free activity sheet and free supplies (members only).
Email [email protected] or call 945-8111
Meetme – Every Thursday 11:00am to 11:45am (5, 12, 19, 26 April)
Due to the staggering number of people affected by Alzheimer’s disease in nursing homes, NGCI decided to develop for this particular audience a programme to combat all forms of degenerative mental diseases, thereby further enhancing NGCI’s programmes for older adults.
Following the success of this programme at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the NGCI wishes to follow suit and give those living in nursing homes, whether they suffer from a degenerative disease or not, an expressive outlet and forum for dialogue. NGCI’s educators and instructors conducting this session are trained by the MoMA’s Meet Me Project to engage participants in lively discussions by focusing on art from the NGCI’s collection and special exhibitions.

Art Sisters – Every Saturday 11:00am to 12:30pm (7, 14, 21, 28 April)
This very popular class was created with the wants and needs of women in mind – leading lively but cozy classes, where camaraderie is an important factor for nurturing creative interests, with sometimes even nibbles, wine, or chocolates!
