Agnes offers a range of high-impact, youth-centred programs. The Rita Friendly Kaufman Fund, created by the Kaufman family in 1998 on the occasion of Rita Friendly Kaufman’s 80th birthday, is an important source of support for our art-education programs. This past year, the fund supported the March Break Art Camp, for children ages 6–12, and Art Hive @Agnes, a free drop-in program focused on art and wellness for young adults, covering such expenses as artist instructor fees and supplies.

Our hands-on studio programs are integrated with the exhibitions and collections to provide uniquely inspiring, high-quality learning year-round. As participation in these programs grows, so do our expenses. Please consider making a gift to support accessible creative programs.
