Immerse yourself in a day of art, with proceeds supporting Canada’s environment! 

 

Oakville Galleries invites you to Petals in Print, a family-friendly public program. Begin with an inspiring guided tour of our current exhibition, Les Fleurs du Mal, in Gairloch Gardens. Then, get hands-on in a Gelli Plate printmaking workshop, using real flowers from artist Abbas Akhavan’s installation (untitled, 2027–ongoing) located at our Centennial Square gallery to create a one-of-a-kind print to take home. Take the opportunity to enjoy the lovely spring weather in the garden or visit our exhibition at Centennial Square afterwards!
