Like many of you, we have been closely following the developments of COVID-19. The Gardiner Museum is closed temporarily as of March 14, 2020. We will continue to take guidance from our public health officials regarding the duration of the closure and will post updates to our website and social media channels as they become available. We are grateful for your support and thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to navigate this challenging time. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Gardiner soon.
Our spring sessional classes and workshops scheduled for April and May have been cancelled. Refunds will be issued automatically.

The Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic and the Gardiner Museum have partnered for more than a decade to provide an expressive arts group to women survivors of violence. Led by art therapist Suzanne Thomson and ceramic artist Jess Riva Cooper, the group’s participants will share their work and raise public awareness about violence against women in a sensitive, informed and compelling art exhibit.
Opening Reception: December 5, 6:30 – 8:30 pm
Join us for a moving evening to hear through clay, what words cannot express.
